FLUENT Linked to Pro/ENGINEER® for External Analysis

As a PTC ® Enterprise Software Partner, Fluent seeks to add value for our clients who use Pro/ENGINEER ® . The recent implementation of a native Pro/ENGINEER ® geometry interface to GAMBIT is one important example. In addition, PTC and Fluent worked together recently to demonstrate how FLUENT and GAMBIT can be used from within Pro/ENGINEER ® 's "external analysis" capability. The resulting prototype integration, showcased at the PTC/User meeting in June, allows FLUENT and GAMBIT to be launched from within Pro/ENGINEER ® and return selected results as Pro/ENGINEER ® analysis features. The resulting integration makes it possible to use FLUENT predictions as the basis for evaluating design changes using sensitivity analysis or automated shape optimization ("Behavioral Modeling"™) directly within Pro/ENGINEER ® .

"Pro/ENGINEER ® external analysis integration is another link in tying Fluent's software into the CAD environment that our clients use," noted Barbara Hutchings, Fluent's Director of Strategic Partnerships. "While far from fully general, the simple prototype demonstrated in June can easily be customized to address specific problems and it enables a direct connection between CAD changes and analysis results. Along with the upcoming capability to import Pro/ENGINEER ® parts into GAMBIT 2.0, this integration shows our commitment to Pro/ENGINEER ® users."
