FLOW SCIENCE JAPAN

Flow Science’s computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions allow commercial, academic, and government researchers to accurately model physical processes across a broad range of applications including water and environmental, coastal and maritime, metal casting, manufacturing, microfluidics, biotech, consumer products, and energy. Flow Science’s flagship CFD software, FLOW-3D®, provides highly accurate simulations of free-surface flows using TruVOF®, the original and true form of the Volume-of-Fluid technique. FLOW-3D is a complete multi-physics package with powerful modeling capabilities such as fluid-structure interaction (FSI), 6-DOF moving objects, and multiphase flows. FLOW-3D/MP accommodates the latest advances in high performance computing (HPC) and cuts runtimes by superior scaling. And FLOW-3D Cast has been designed specifically for optimal simulations of metal casting processes.

There is an overlap between Abaqus users and FLOW-3D users and we have been asked whether we could facilitate an interface between the two software for tighter and more convenient CFD-FEA co-simulation. An interface between FLOW-3D and Abaqus would allow for FLOW-3D’s CFD results to be exported to Abaqus as initial or boundary condition in the form of either pressure or force. Conversely, the interface allows for importing of an Abaqus-generated mesh to be imported to FLOW-3D for basic fluid-structure interaction.Flow Science, Inc.683 Harkle RdSanta Fe, NM 87505www.flow3d.com Amir IsfahaniPresident & CEOamir@flow3d.com505-982-0088
