Simcenter

Simcenter is a full-featured 3D computational fluid dynamics analysis solution built into major MCAD systems such as Siemens NX, Solid Edge, Creo, CATIA V5 and SolidWorks. It tightly integrates with the inventor. Fast to learn and easy to use, Simcenter eliminates the workflow complexity and meshing overheads of other CFD software.

Benefits of Simcenter

  • An intuitive user experience – short learning curve
  • Unique solver – getting accurate results fast for highly complex geometry
  • Use of native data – no translation or fluid body creation
  • Powerful parametric study and design comparison functionality for easier what-if analysis
  • Up to 75% faster simulation cycle with CAD embedded Concurrent CFD

Capabilities of Simcenter

Advanced module for combustion and hypersonic fluid displacements

Simcenter allows you to simulate the air flow in hypersonic regime with the corresponding effects. For combustion modeling and analysis, the module manages the thermal effects of the combustion of gas mixtures. The module also gives the user the possibility of carrying out hypersonic analysis by simulating the air flow in hypersonic regime along with associated effects, such as the ionization of air at high temperature and the viscosity.

Fast Cartesian mesh with automatic detection of fluid and solid regions

The mesh can be automated easily even for the most complex CAD geometries thanks to the help of SmartCells technology. This unique technology which combines the Cartesian mesh with analytical (or semi-empirical) solver models is extremely efficient. It allows great precision for simulation with a reduced number of mesh elements compared to traditional CFD simulation software. Concretely, Smart Cells makes it possible to reduce the time spent meshing and solving, even on the most complex geometries.

Parametric study

Simcenter allows you to compare different configurations and different settings to allow engineers to understand the influence of certain modifications (geometries or conditions) on the results. Users can compare these results as values, graphs, or animations.

Dedicated module for the analysis of the cooling of electronic components

In addition to large databases of fan curves and packaging materials or 2-Resistor components, it also includes functions and specialized physics such as a PCB model and current Joule heating. The module is ideal for more in-depth simulations on electronic systems. The module also includes a material library in addition to the basic materials.

Dedicated module for thermal analysis of LED lights

It contains the necessary radiation models, such as discrete ordinates and Monte Carlo. It provides the possibility of absorbing radiation in transparent materials and takes into account refraction as in lenses. The LED module is ideal for the lighting industry and especially for LEDs, it includes a unique new LED model which predicts accurately operational light output (hot lumens) and temperature for your LED.

Dedicated module for HVAC

Dedicated module for HVAC provides specific functionalities, in particular for heating, air conditioning and ventilation issues. Comfort parameters are included in the HVAC module, in order to estimate the thermal comfort of the occupants and the efficiency of the ventilation systems. Advanced features allow more realistic simulation of radiation. The module also includes a material library in addition to the basic materials.

From Our Customers

- Greg Young StackTeck

“At StackTeck, we pride ourselves on delivering great customer experiences, so we are very pleased to have found a CAD partner in DesignFusion that mirrors this. With a tight timeline, a very complex upgrade and no room for error, they succeeded in not only upgrading our environment, but making quality-of-life improvements and educating along the way. Thank you guys and great work!”

- Dany Lapointe Rotobec

"My experience with Design Fusion can be summed up in a few words: efficiency and professionalism. We are always answered quickly in case of concern and the help provided is well targeted and they always manage to clearly identify the problem. We have been working with them for almost 15 years and they have a solid team in both PLM and CAD. I am proud to count among the clients of such a professional and dynamic team!"

- Donato Rossi CPC Pumps

“Design Fusion is a collaborative team whose efforts are a great asset to formulating practical solutions with real-world results. The services and applications they offer have assisted in developing new solutions and workflows for trouble shooting time sensitive issues; that would otherwise cost significantly, if other outside resources were used.We continue to work with them and look forward to the new developments their brands have to offer.”

- Vincent Adinkrah SPS

"No simulations task too small or too complex. Whether a discrete CFD, thermal or strength analysis or in combination, the Engineering Team brings their knowledge of multiple industries, materials, NX Simulations and Flow FD to ensure the uniqueness associated with all simulations are kept front and center.”

Case Study

Simcenter Femap with Nastran plays a critical role in the design of NASA’s new Orion spacecraft

Lockheed Martin Space Systems

“Using Simcenter Femap, you can view your model in a lot of different ways, and turn different elements and geometry on and off. This helps us double-check and catch mistakes.”
- Eric Lewis, Stress Analyst and Senior Staff Engineer Lockheed Martin Space Systems

Lewis describes himself as a “Simcenter Femap champion,” spreading the word about the advantages of Simcenter Femap among his aerospace colleagues. “I tell them how easy it is to use, and easy-to-learn,” he says. “That Simcenter Femap is very powerful and intuitive software.”

Results

  • Complicated trade studies completed in two to three weeks
  • Improved accuracy through visualization and geometry manipulation tools that help confirm the FE model was properly created
  • Automation of routine tasks via scripts saves time and increases accuracy

Case Study

Simcenter virtualization tools deliver engineering services provider with competitive advantage for full-vehicle system integration

Applus IDIADA

“The benefits of Simcenter solutions are calculation flexibility, accuracy and consistency of results given the right input.”
"Simcenter is a tool that guides us through correct development assumptions, and then allows us to finetune or calibrate systems when they are ready."
- Guillem Badia, Project Manager, Powertrain Innovation Applus IDIADA

Results
