3DEXPERIENCE Fluid Dynamics Engineer Role
Overview
Fluid Dynamics Engineer Role Overview
Fluid Dynamics Engineer provides designers and design engineers with the ability to validate fluid and thermal performance for internal/ external flows and conjugate heat transfer problems. With a CAD-enabled CFD approach, Fluid Dynamics Engineer enables users to quickly explore 100s of designs while concurrently improving product performance based on optimal flow distribution, efficient thermal management, minimal pressure losses etc. Fluid Dynamics Engineer leverages industry standard RANS based finite volume Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology with an integrated (CAD+CFD+PLM) and fully guided user experience tailored for Designers to perform end-to-end product design efficiently on a single collaborative environment of 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.
As a Role on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, Fluid Dynamics Engineer permits a seamless switch between applications, allowing users to be product-focused: applying the right tool at the right time in their workflow processes. This allows a much greater degree of flexibility and collaboration in the design and simulation process, where geometry changes are automatically updated and made immediately available on the same platform for the analyst to obtain updated results.
The Fluid Dynamics Engineer Role allows you to:
- Efficiently explore fluid flow and thermal performance design alternatives to accelerate product innovation
- Leverage full integration with CAD AND PLM for concurrent, simulation-driven product development
- Easily predict steady-state and long-transient flow and thermal behavior of products with the designer-centric guided interface
- Reduce complexity of CFD workflows on a variety of flow scenarios Internal flows such as pipes, valves, and ducts with automatic fluid domain extraction, and external flows such as buildings and vehicles with automatic creation of bounding surface of fluid domain
- Automate design exploration with Parametric Design study application
- Reduce computational time for steady state and mildly transient problems
- Minimize IT overhead using cloud computing options
- Improve designs to optimize flow distribution, minimize pressure loss and turbulence
