Autodesk Simulation CFD

Autodesk Simulation is a line of the professional program CAE solutions allowing to simplify considerably a development cycle of products, it is essential to increase quality of projectible products and to reduce need for a stage of physical tests.

The line includes the following products:

• Autodesk Simulation CFD is the system of hydrogasdynamic calculations. Allows to model laminar and sinuous flows of liquid and gas with calculation of heat exchanging processes.
• Autodesk Simulation Mechanical is a system for the mechanical analysis of products and constructions. Allows to solve linear and nonlinear problems of durability and kinematics.
• Autodesk Simulation Moldflow is a system for process modeling of casting under pressure of polymeric materials, including thermoplastics, reaktoplasta and rubbers.
• Autodesk Nastran In-CAD – the basic system of payment with the finite-element method (FEM) which is built in a CAD which cornerstone the settlement module Autodesk Nastran is.
• Autodesk of CFD is the tool intended for automation of hydrogasdynamic calculations and processes of a heat transfer.

The settlement Autodesk Simulation programs are developed especially for use by experienced designers and engineers. For this reason their use increases capabilities of developers to solve complex problems and realizes all creative potential for creations of the innovation and reliable constructions and products.

Autodesk CFD

To Autodesk of CFD (Computational fluid dynamics/computing of the hydrodynamics engineer) it is intended for automation of hydrogasdynamic calculations and processes of a heat transfer, belongs to Autodesk Simulation product line.

The technology is applied at all design stages, helping to optimize construction, to eliminate errors before transfer of a product to production and to predict his behavior during operation. So, producers of control devices (valves, valves, turbines, compressors) with its help can analyze possible emergence of supersonic flows, a hydraulic shock and cavitation in advance and also to trace a mechanical erosion, a trajectory of particles and interaction of moving bodies.

Autodesk of CFD is also used for control of temperature conditions in electronic devices. With its help the analysis based on which procedures of management of thermal processes form is carried out. As a result producers can save the budget, having reduced quantity of prototypes and to accelerate an output of the products to the market.

By Autodesk of CFD, first of all, it is addressed to the enterprises in mechanical engineering, the aviation, automotive and aerospace industry and also the oil and gas and power industries. The technology is also applied in industrial and civil engineering, for example, to flow analysis of air and the thermal modes in buildings. With its help architects and engineers can obtain information on natural lighting, thermal comfort, air quality and energy consumption conditioning systems.

2017: Certification of Autodesk of CFD on requirements of GOST and SNIP

On July 26 the Autodesk company announced certification of the CFD Autodesk software product. The certificate issued by TsSPS confirms compliance of Autodesk of CFD to requirements of GOST and SNIP. Thus the companies which need to make calculations of flows of gases and liquid (for example, at design of vent systems of the building or cooling systems of electronic devices) can be sure that results discharged conform to the Russian standards.

Autodesk Simulation CFD

The technology of computing hydrodynamics which became property of Autodesk after acquisition of Blue Ridge Numerics company in March, 2011 is the cornerstone of a product.

Autodesk Simulation CFD helps to automate modeling of flows of liquids and processes of a heat transfer, facilitating thereby adoption of project solutions and reducing the need for physical prototypes.

The automated modeling of flows of liquids and processes of a heat transfer is a fast and economic alternative to physical methods which, besides, often do not give the broad picture of the events. Autodesk Simulation CFD is the platform helping the enterprises to achieve competitive advantages and to provide significant growth thanks to the optimized use of human and computing resources.

Also in Autodesk Simulation CFD integration with Autodesk Inventor Fusion is provided that allows engineers to modify and simplify quickly the geometry arriving from a set of a different CAD.

2011: Simulation CFD release

The Autodesk company announced in August, 2011 release of the Autodesk Simulation CFD software product which became the freshest innovation among solutions of Autodesk for modeling and the analysis.

• New features of Autodesk Simulation CFD simplify carrying out reverse engineering thanks to object groups of a CAD and rules of a research of projects. To go to flow analysis and heat transfers after carrying out preset tuning one mouse click suffices.
• Automation of the analysis. New opportunities among which – the module of a research of projects which is built in a CAD and templates of the analysis, help engineers to avoid repeated accomplishment of the same actions.
• The analysis in the distributed mode. Autodesk Simulation CFD considerably simplifies work of engineers, allowing to use computing resources of a computer network optimum. The new decisive module helps to distribute workload on several stations at once.
• Environment for joint work. New methods of the organization of workflow allow specialists to conduct design jointly. In Autodesk Simulation CFD there is means 3D - viewing using which all interested persons who even are not owning licenses for Autodesk Simulation CFD can browse analysis results in the web browser.
• Center of decision making. Autodesk Simulation CFD visualizes information necessary for engineers, using the program camera thermal imager. In a product there is an opportunity to configure a method of an output of analysis results.
