CFD that runs directly inside the CAD interface, showing design engineers immediately whether a new design overheats or chokes the flow, without waiting for files to reach the simulation department.
The geometry comes straight from the model you are working on. Modify the design and rerun immediately, with no export or geometry clean-up.
A Cartesian mesh is generated automatically, so no specialist meshing skill is needed and design engineers can use it immediately.
FloTherm goes deep into electronics cooling: components, PCBs, rack cabinets, data centers — with component libraries and thermal resistance models ready to use.
FloEFD solves most design-stage problems quickly. Heavy industrial cases need a different tool.
Multiphase, combustion, very large meshes, industrial equipment cases.

Yes. FloEFD is designed for these users, with automatic meshing and an interface inside CAD. Reading and interpreting the results, however, still requires an understanding of the physics, which CFDWAYS covers in training.
Within FloEFD's scope (single-phase flow and heat transfer), the results are equivalent. Multiphase, combustion or very large meshes require STAR-CCM+.
FloEFD sits in CAD and serves mechanical design in general. FloTherm specializes in electronics cooling, with component libraries and dedicated workflows for PCBs and rack cabinets.
Send the CAD file and a description — CFDWAYS will run it and send you the results before you decide.
