Siemens Digital Industries Software announces the latest release of its Simcenter FLOEFD software, a CAD-embedded computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool. Simcenter FLOEFD is part of the Simcenter portfolio of simulation and test solutions that enables companies optimize designs and deliver innovations faster and with greater confidence. Simcenter FLOEFD helps engineers simulate fluid flow and thermal problems quickly and accurately within their preferred CAD environment. The latest version offers new modules and improvements that can improve accuracy and solve rates. 

Featuring unique intelligent technology to enable fast and accurate simulation, Simcenter FLOEFD helps users frontload CFD simulation early into the design process to understand the behavior of their concepts and eliminate the less attractive options. Due to its unique technology, Simcenter FLOEFD can reduce the overall simulation time by as much as 65-75 percent and offers up to 40 times user productivity enhancement. Part of the Xcelerator portfolio, Simcenter FLOEFD helps design engineers increase productivity and contribute to the creation of a highly accurate digital twin. 

The new Electronics Cooling Center module in Simcenter FLOEFD combines existing best electronics-specific capabilities and integrates new ones from Simcenter Flotherm software inside the user-friendly CAD-embedded interface to enhance electronics cooling functionality. A second new module helps users create a compact Reduced Order Model (ROM) that solves at a faster rate, while still maintaining a high level of accuracy. Its package creator helps users create thermal models of electronics packages easily and quickly. The Power Electrification module can now simulate an electrical device as an electro-thermal compact model, which can save significant user and computational time.
