Electromagnetic software meets Solidworks criteria
Cosmos/EMS, its electromagnetic design software from SRAC, has successfully met the criteria required to become a SolidWorks Solution Partner product
The same qualities that make SolidWorks the industry's leading mid-range CAD system for the design of engines, valves, hydraulics, piping, pumps, HVAC and other complicated assemblies make Cosmos/FloWorks the perfect tool for analysing them.
Cosmos/FloWorks ignores the traditional practice of handing off fluid analysis to specialists by translating problems into engineering analysis goals rather than numerical convergence criteria and solver parameters.
Leaving the SolidWorks geometry as a solid model, Cosmos/FloWorks empowers engineers who are not analysis experts to succeed in today's design environment.
"At SRAC, our goal is to provide designers with easy-to-use simulation tools that allow them to experience the benefits of analysis at all stages of the design cycle", said Barbara Guerra, President and CEO of SRAC.
"We feel that Cosmos/FloWorks perfectly complements this vision and will be a useful addition to every SolidWorks designer's desktop".
"Our technology has generated a great deal of interest and commercial success since it was released three years ago", said NIKA CEO Roland Feldhinkel.
"We are excited about the prospect of working with SRAC to introduce Cosmos/FloWorks to those engineers who wish to perform flow simulation but are not necessarily experts in the field of computational fluid dynamics".
