Software speeds prevention of water backflow
Watts Industries Netherlands used EFD.Lab engineering fluid dynamics (EFD) software to develop a range of water backflow prevention devices while drastically reducing the design test period.
In the United States, North Carolina State University is trialing EFD and ITT Technical Institute, University of Arkansas, University of Texas Pan-American, Portland State University, Rochester Institute of Technology, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Michigan Technological University, and Lehigh University are considering the software.
The documentation provided with EFD makes it easy to adopt the software for teaching.
The software comes with a comprehensive user guide and tutorial exercises that can be used in the classroom or as self-study material.
Some 20 worked examples of standard problems complete with the theory are included to teach the principles of fluid dynamics and heat transfer.
These can be easily adapted to include parametric variations and set as exercises for students.
Flomerics provides EFD simulation software to universities and colleges through its "EFD for Education" initiative which aims to ensure that mechanical engineering students and researchers have access to the latest fluid dynamics software used in industry.
Unlike traditional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation software, EFD operates inside the mechanical CAD tools that engineers are familiar with - without any transfer of data.
The EFD product family provides full-featured general purpose fluid flow and heat transfer analysis software combining all simulation steps, starting with reading CAD data, model definition, mesh generation, solving, post-processing, through to the generation of result presentations - all within a single software environment.
EFD.Pro is fully embedded CFD software within the Pro/Engineer Wildfire environment.
EFD.V5 is fully embedded CFD software within the Catia V5 environment.
EFD.Lab is a general purpose CAD-embedded fluid flow and heat transfer software.
EFD is available for immediate shipment to educational and research institutions. Request a free brochure from Flomerics ...
