Flow3D

Flow 3D official version is a professional and powerful computational fluid dynamics tool. The Chinese version of Flow3D is built using CFD solution technology, which allows casting engineers to verify the feasibility of the design plan during the design stage, reducing the time and cost of mold modifications. Through Flow3D software, users can accurately and quickly predict the flow of liquids, helping users improve existing processes in the engineering field.

Flow3D software introduction

The Chinese version of flow3d has a variety of physical computer models, including a sediment erosion model, which can simulate erosion phenomena around bridge piers, for example. The air entrainment model can simulate problems such as a small amount of air being entrained in a fluid during flow. In addition, there are shallow water models, ship motion models, etc. The multi-grid block establishment technology provided by flow3d Chinese version enables the downloading and densification of the local grid in the computer area without affecting the number of grids in other computing areas. Multi-grid blocks can use connected or trough-type grid blocks to establish the grid. At the same time, the new version of flow3d adopts the new favor technology, which enables the rectangular grid to describe complex geometric shapes, so that the geometric shapes can be defined efficiently and accurately.

Flow3D software features

FLOW-3D provides high-precision simulation results faster through our industry-leading truvof algorithm. A pioneering approach to fluid tracking, TruVOF continues to set the industry standard for flow accuracy since its inception 35 years ago. FLOW-3D is the result of collaborations with the world's leading scientific, production and research companies to deliver accurate simulations and efficient collaborative workflows.

Our innovative meshing method, adopted by FLOW-3D™, greatly improves problem setup by embedding geometry directly into the mesh, allowing for rapid parameter adjustments without the labor-intensive meshing required by other CFD software. Engineers spend time visualizing, optimizing, and collaborating on design concepts with streamlined runtimes and more accurate results.

​​​Flowsight provides a powerful and easy way to understand and share simulation results. You can compare results by viewing numerical and visual formats, analyzing ISO surfaces from all six degrees simultaneously, connecting and viewing different cases in the same viewport.
