FloWizard V2 Brings CFD to Mere Mortals

Fluent Inc. (Lebanon, NH) has released FloWizard V2, a major upgrade to the company's Windows-based application on a mission to make CFD (computational fluid dynamics) use among designers as fast, easy, and common as MCAD.

An important new attribute in FloWizard V2 is its optional ability to access Fluent's Remote Simulation Facility (RSolve) — a secure parallel clustering computer facility. Leveraging this subscription-based computing powerhouse gives small and mid-sized firms the computational might required to solve highly complex flow modeling and heat transfer problems.

Rapid flow modeling, what the company calls the concept underlying FloWizard, is an approach to CFD intended to refute its reputation as a complex scientific discipline beyond the range of mere mortal engineers. This approach enables quick and accurate design validations much earlier in the product development cycle.

Rapid flow modeling begins with expert-based Guide Me features to pilot you through the simulation process. This guidance starts by replacing complex CFD jargon with clear, logical questions. Based on your responses, FloWizard chooses the appropriate mathematical models for your simulation. It automatically alerts you to suspect inputs or questionable results, and guides your corrections.
