FloWizard Key Features

Expert Guidance

FloWizard guides you through the entire flow simulation process, from start to finish. You begin by reading your CAD model. From there you are guided by intelligent software, written by the world's foremost experts in CFD, that is uniquely designed to give you the right answer. FloWizard has automatic alerts that catch any suspicious inputs or questionable results and guides you on how to correct them.

The FloWizard interface was developed as a result of extensive usability studies at major industrial companies. FloWizard replaces complex CFD jargon with clear, logical questions. Based on these inputs, FloWizard chooses the appropriate mathematical models. The results are automatically output as HTML reports that can be brought into your spreadsheet or other data analysis software. This level of built-in expert guidance allows for more reliable answers, regardless of the user's flow modeling experience.

Collaboration

FloWizard is the only flow simulation software available that offers peer-to-peer collaboration. With this feature, you can connect to a shared session with others in your organization through your corporate Intranet, or you can connect with third party consultants or business partners. You can transfer control of the session to any participating user, who can then make changes, which are seen by all. Each user retains the capability to change the view of the geometry, look at parameters and properties, and view results.

CAD Connection

FloWizard is ready to work with you! No matter what CAD software you use, FloWizard can handle your geometry. FloWizard’s automated tools help you in extracting the flow volume, simplifying the geometry by removing unwanted details, and creating the computational mesh. And of course, if you already use meshing software, FloWizard can read in complete computational meshes also. FloWizard fits into your design and engineering process.

Upward Compatibility

FloWizard generates files that are 100% compatible with Fluent’s flagship CFD software, FLUENT – the tool of choice for CFD experts worldwide. This capability allows you to move back and forth easily between FloWizard and FLUENT as dictated by your fidelity needs or the complexity of the analysis. As a FloWizard user, you can be trained on FLUENT as the need arises, or you can efficiently pass your files on to your colleagues who use FLUENT for detailed virtual prototyping.

Extend Your Capabilities

With FloWizard you can shift computationally-intensive tasks away from your desktop computer to Fluent’s remote simulation facility (RSolve). This directly improves your efficiency because it reduces turnaround time by running large calculations on a parallel computing cluster. RSolve offers a safe and reliable solution to provide you with the extra capacity during times of peak loads and projects with short deadlines.
