State-of-the-art CFD Solutions for Optimized Product Development
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has emerged as an essential tool in product development given its ability to handle complex geometries and physical phenomena. By allowing the ‘front-loading’ of product development, MSC Software’s Cradle CFD helps visualize complicated flow of fluids, whether liquid or gaseous, right at the conceptual design phase. This facilitates the optimization of design early in the design process and ensures superior performance of the final product.
Cradle CFD can also be coupled with other simulation solutions such as structural or mechanical software including Marc, Nastran, Adams and Actran from MSC Software. This results in precise and realistic simulations that empower engineers to assess design performance and potential risks more effectively.
From aerospace, automotive, electronics, chemical and life sciences to architecture, marine engineering and machinery, Cradle CFD finds diverse applications in a wide range of industries.
Features of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Software
Compatible CAD Interface
Cradle CFD allows users to import data from 10+ CAD native formats from most leading 3D CAD software as well as 15+ generalized intermediate data formats including Parasolid XT and STEP.
Easy-to-Use UI
Since assembly information and the settings of conditions on the parts is imported from CAD operations, the Cradle CFD operational functionality brings in greater continuity and simplifies operations.
Unstructured & Structured Mesh
Cradle CFD enables both structured mesh and unstructured mesh analysis models using scSTREAM and scFLOW, respectively. While the structured mesh finds applications in areas such as thermal dissipation design of electronic devices, wind flow evaluation around buildings, and air-conditioning performance; the unstructured mesh lends itself to areas that require precise geometry generation such as vehicle aerodynamic performance and assessment of fan blade geometry.
High Performance Computing (HPC) solution
Parallel computing helps solve for more complex models with a higher number of mesh elements. It also speeds up the solving of existing models.
Co-Simulate with MSC Products
CFD Cradle allows co-simulation and coupling with other technologies such as structural, mechanical, acoustic, etc.
Powerful Visualization
Explore and experience the award-winning post-processing features that generate high-quality visually expressive simulation graphics.
Key Solutions
ScFLOW/ScTetra
Fully capable of solving aerospace and automotive aerodynamics problems, ScFLOW is a cutting-edge tool that uses unstructured mesh to accurately represent complicated geometry. Backed with a user-centric pre-preprocessor, engineers can generate high quality polyhedral mesh elements and construct complicated models, and Solver to increase stability and speed.
This software solution allows co-simulation through which various MSC solutions such as Marc, Nastran, Adams and Actran can be coupled together to assess the performance of fans, pumps and other rotating equipment, design problems of electronic devices, multiphase phenomena, marine propeller cavitation, and varied problems.
ScSTREAM
ScSTREAM is a user friendly CFD tool that makes use of Cartesian or cylindrical structured mesh for easy mesh generation in relatively less time. Given the meshing nature and robust analysis process, ScSTREAM generates quicker solutions to solve thermal problems of electronic devices and indoor environment, wind flow, and heat island phenomena.
ScPOST
ScPOST enables engineers and designers to visualize the simulation results calculated in Solver. This solution also allows engineers to output not only still images but also animations, as well as output files for CradleViewer.
PICLS
A thermal simulation solution that enables engineers to perform accurate thermal simulation of PCBs. This solution is so user-centric that even beginners with no simulation background can obtain a simulation result without stress.
