Flomerics has announced that it has received significant sales orders for its EFD family of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software over the past quarter from Honda, WATTS Industries, Thales MESL, Boeing Shared Services Group, Meteor Gummiwerke, Philips Medical System DMC , Robert Bosch , ZF Getriebe and Eaton Electric. The EFD family of CFD software from Flomerics includes EFD.Pro - a fully embedded CFD solution within the Pro/ENGINEER environment; EFD.V5, - a fully embedded CFD solution within the CATIA environment, and EFD.Lab - a general-purpose fluid analysis tool that includes a built-in solid modeler. All the software products in the EFD family work directly with the native CAD geometry and require no translation of data, so the solid model maintains intelligence such as assembly hierarchy, constraints, and features.

Users can take advantage of the existing data to conduct 'what if?' analyses directly from within their chosen design platform.

EFD makes it easy to perform flow simulation because it analyses the geometry and generates the computational grid in the background while the user only needs to interact with the familiar MCAD interface.

The analysis engine at the heart of the EFD product suite is the same analysis engine used by SolidWorks in their tightly-integrated CFD software - CosmosFloWorks.
