CFD Simulation
Computational Fluid Dynamics
Steady-state and transient internal & external flow analysis — from designer-friendly CFD to production aero-acoustics. XFlow, PowerFLOW, and Fluid Dynamics Engineer on one platform.
Overview
Mesh-Free, Transient, Production-Ready CFD
SIMULIA CFD takes a different approach from traditional finite-volume solvers — using Lattice Boltzmann (PowerFLOW) and particle-based (XFlow) methods that handle moving geometry, free surfaces, and transient flows without remeshing pain.
For designers, Fluid Dynamics Engineer on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform delivers intuitive CFD workflows directly inside the CAD environment — no separate pre-processor required.
Key Capabilities
What This Portfolio Delivers
External Aero-Acoustics
Vehicle wind noise, fan noise, HVAC — PowerFLOW is the de-facto standard for production aero-acoustics in automotive.
External Aerodynamics
