Software edition

Software edition dedicated to fluid mechanics with a cutting edge technology named Turb'Opty. This activity is based on FLUOREM staff, experts in CFD development as well as in specific applications including internal and external aerodynamics, fluid-structure or fluid-acoustics coupling, prediction and analysis of unsteady flows.

 Distribution

Software Distribustion through a cross-partnership with a Canadian company Newmerical Technologies International (NTI). This sofware specially design for aircraft and equipment manufacturers performs simulation of adverse climatic environments such as ice accretion and rain. It already is the tool of choice for serveral companies such as Eurocopter, Airbus, SNECMA Moteurs.

FLUOREM offers the 4 software module comprised in this software system :

- flow solution (FENSAP-ICE),
- water droplet solution (DROP3D),
- ice accretion (ICE3D),
- conjugate heat transfer and thermal ice protection (CHT3D)

Moreover, a mesh adaptation software, OptiGrid, is also available.

The second partnership, marking a strategic turning point for the society, is established with a major Japanese firm, Software Cradle Co., based in Osaka already present in USA, China and Korea. Among the distributed products, we can refer to SC/Tetra, an integrated “all-in-one” thermo-fluid analysis system which revolutionizes the image of past commercial CFD software products in “speed, simplicity” and “total cost”. SC/Tetra is actually widely used in the automotive industries, for several applications ranging from aerodynamics, powertrain, HVAC (including the most advanced thermoregulation model to simulate the temperature and the amount of perspiration of human body), to other fields like sloshing in fuel tank or internal flow in a break rotor. Toyota, Daihastu, Yamaha, Nissan, Honda… are actually members of SC/Tetra users

Assuming that the CAD data for the product design will directly used as an analysis model, this multi-purpose package has many functions to repair and modify the CAD data in case any error or defect exists in the data (CADthru), to automatically generate full 3D unstructured mesh with prism layers to account for walls and boundary layers, or to auto-adapt the mesh refinement according to the calculation situation.

In addition to simulating standard fluid flow and heat transfer applications, SC/Tetra can calculate various phenomena such as Chemical Reactions, Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE), overset mesh or dynamic ALE for moving and/or rotating boundaries,  electric current (joule heating) analysis, cavitations, and aeroacoustics. ,

CFD software that are used to having many function options tend to be complicated and difficult to use.  SC/Tetra is equipped with a well organized and intuitive GUI with Wizard based to guide setting boundary conditions which simplifies the process. At the end of the process, the Cradle post-processor is used to provide, in addition to a variety of advanced functions useful for CAE experts and for third parties viewing the results, several animations as an ideal way to visualize both steady-state and transient phenomena.

Beyond the automotive applications, many customers using Cradle’s product are in the fiel of E&E, construction and civil engineering, heavy industry, machinery, materials, etc.

 Consulting

Services and specific studies in numerical flow simulation: FLUOREM's consulting activity aims at providing to theirs clients tailor made solutions by a deep comprehension of physical phenomenon. By their pluridisciplinaries skills, FLUOREM realises any services by using its own tools and software. FLUOREM staff can take part into your own software. Our policy is to give you an adapted service thanks to our experience as a software editor.

 Training

Training The courses illustrate the state-of-the-art in optimization and parameterization methods in CFD. The governing idea is to try to bring into light theses recent technologies for which, very often, amalgam and confusion are made. This implies to do first a simple but complete description of each of them, and secondly to put the emphasis as much on their common fields and their complementarity, that on their implementation and their differences. Each course is specific, and proposes programs which link theory to applications through demonstrations and training based on our software which cover different approaches :

Physical analysis using numerical simulation (Turb'Flow),

Approach to Robust Design (Turb'Design),

Approach to optimization (Program of 11/15/2005)

Approach to Advanced Design (Turb'Opty).
