CAD-Embedded CFD
Run supported flow and thermal studies within connected CAD workflows to help reduce barriers between design and simulation.
Simcenter FloEFD is an embedded CFD solution designed to bring fluid-flow and heat-transfer simulation closer to the CAD design process. It helps engineers assess cooling, ventilation, pressure drop and thermal performance while iterating on product geometry.
FloEFD can help design engineers evaluate thermal and fluid performance in electronics, enclosures, machinery, heat exchangers and other products where early insight can reduce late design changes.
As a Siemens Digital Industries Software channel partner, Benedes Engineering can help you explore relevant software options, licensing, demonstrations, technical support and engineering workflows aligned with your requirements.
Explore key capability areas and typical engineering applications. Available features depend on the selected product, modules, solver, license, configuration and version.

Select the CAD design and define the study objective.
Set fluids, materials, boundary conditions, heat sources and relevant assumptions.
Generate the computational mesh and check model setup.
Run the simulation and review convergence and key engineering quantities.
Compare design alternatives and use findings to guide CAD changes.
Explore how Simcenter FloEFD may fit into workflows across sectors. The right application method and model fidelity depend on the project.
Answers to common questions from engineering teams evaluating simulation software.
It is used for CFD and thermal analysis in a design-oriented workflow, including supported internal and external flow and heat-transfer studies.
FloEFD emphasizes embedded CFD within supported CAD design workflows; STAR-CCM+ is a broader multidisciplinary CFD environment. The right choice depends on complexity, workflow and requirements.
Electronics cooling and thermal management are common use cases, provided the model includes suitable component data, heat loads and boundary conditions.
Simulation can reduce design iterations and inform testing, but critical applications should use appropriate verification and correlation with physical data.
