Company Showcases Fully Integrated Software and Offers Special Pricing at Booth Number 320

NIKA GmbH, the leading provider of fluid flow and heat transfer simulation software for engineers, will roll out EFD.Pro 7 at the 2005 PTC/User Conference to be held in Dallas, Texas, June 5 - 7. EFD.Pro is fully embedded in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire and enables users to create designs with Pro/ENGINEER and then immediately analyze and optimize them – without translating any data and within the familiar Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire environment.

“With EFD.Pro 7 our development team succeeded to broaden the range of applications for Engineering Fluid Dynamics more than ever before in NIKA’s history”, said Roland Feldhinkel, the company managing director. “We are confident that the latest EFD product family is the best choice of state-of-the-art, reliable and high-quality fluid flow and heat transfer simulation software with a high potential for innovation and cost savings in the product development process.”

EFD.Pro offers analysis of compressible and incompressible liquids and gases, laminar and turbulent flows, heat transfer and species transport for steady-state and transient flow regimes as well as numerous other sophisticated physical models. It can be used for the development and optimization of various products such as automotive parts, computer housings, valves and regulators within a shorter time frame and with better quality.

EFD.Pro 7 is available for immediate shipment and is showcased in booth number 320 at the 2006 PTC/User Conference in Dallas, Texas. Show attendees can also learn more about EFD in our Partner Presentation about its application in day-to-day engineering environments in Session Room Grapevine D, on Tuesday, June 6, at 12:00 – 12:30 p.m.

EFD.Pro 7 Overview

The latest release of EFD.Pro features:

Expanded Simulation Capabilities

The addition of new physical modelling capabilities will offer enhanced simulation of “reality”. For example, a new model considers valve or pump cavitation effects thus helping engineers to localize and eliminate this often unwanted phenomena earlier during the design cycle. Also, a new compact model for thermoelectric coolers (TECs) helps to optimize sophisticated thermal management concepts for electronic designs efficiently. Lastly, EFD.Pro offers a new model for considering humid air for simulating the temperature and humidity distribution in rooms. This new feature will help engineers create designs that comply with building regulations as well as health and safety issues.

Improved Mesh Generation Technology

Version 7 now offers an even more efficient Rectangular Adaptive Mesh technology. The new algorithm meshes extremely complex CAD geometries involving a large number of very thin structures in a highly efficient way. Using this technology, users can automatically mesh even the most complex CAD models on the desktop. For instance, simulations in the areas of electronics cooling, heat exchangers or HVAC will experience a reduction in computation time by a factor of up to 10 using the new meshing technology.

Broadened Visualization Capabilities

EFD.Pro 7 also features a new flexible tool to animate simulation results. Cut Plots, Flow Trajectories or Isosurfaces as well as CAD parts and assemblies can now be animated simultaneously and saved in an AVI format. The program arranges all object movements and positions of the virtual camera over a timeline. The resulting animation can then be used to gain comprehensive insight into the model behaviour and communicate design ideas.
