It is troublesome to use computational fluid dynamics softwares because of demanding preparation, but FlowDesigner lightens the requirements. It enables us to calculate many different conditions without trouble.
This can be useful for technical sales, factory ventilation management, teaching aids for designing at colleges.

Because you don't have to cut the grid manually, it analyzes flow and thermal quickly.

The design concept of the software, which is user-friendly simulation software for air conditioning engineers and sales persons, is really interesting. FlowDesigner realizes the concept almost completely. This issue has been discussed among the work group in The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. This concept should be accepted by other areas which deal heat transfer in mechanical engineering. This can be used in education, too.

For enhancing comfort and saving energy at homes and offices, we are studying Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells and Micro Gas Engines for next generation Home Cogeneration and urban energy systems related to global warming and the heat island problems. In this type of studies, computational fluid dynamics helps tremendously in terms of testing air flow and thermal conditions inside and outside of buildings. However, conventional CFD requires specially trained professionals. It becomes big concern to the project in time and cost. FlowDesigner has been developed based on working knowledge in order to make configuration, calculation, visualization all possible with easy operation with graphic user interfaces. It made CFD feasible for users without formal training in CFD, such as engineers and sales persons who can really utilize the power of CFD. For expert users, there might be shortage in functionalities but the developers of Flowdesigner are working on fulfilling such demands. We are looking forward the improvements.

I thought it was difficult to use CFD simulation software but it visualizes invisible phenomena like air flow and heat transfer to help me convince my customers. Fellow sales persons are also interested in using this software as their business tool.
(Electrical Manufacturer - Sales)
Concentrating necessary functions and it became an excellent tool for sales persons visualizing designs in front of customers. This is what we need at sales scenes.
(Manufacturer - Sales)
We use CFD simulation for proposing our designs. Until now, we had to spend a lot of time cutting meshes and it limited us to simulate only once for most cases. Since it is time-consuming, we were not sure if we cut meshes correctly. We used to spend an half day waiting for calculation on our PC. In many cases, we need to calculate multiple conditions to compare, it could be a week waiting. FlowDesigner has great usability in mesh cutting, boundary condition setting, etc., it takes only up to 2 days to calculate for even very complicated cases. This helps us for timely reports to our customers.

FD capture FlowDesigner is software package to visualize air flow, thermal and contamination distribution in three dimension. Computational Fluid Dynamics have been utilized in limited labs in university and industries. [FlowDesigner V5] is the software made CFD a daily tool for everyone. Invisible air flow and temperature distribution can be visualized in 3D instantaneously. Evaluate designs and ideas by changing the conditions as many times as you want easily and quickly on your PC.

FlowDesigner Concepts
 Easy Visualization
Visualize Invisible Phenomena in 5 minutes!
The tool lets users visualize their problem and helps understand air flow.
 Accurate Simulation as Often as You Want
Trying many different conditions virtually is the strength of the good simulation.
FlowDesigner utilizes high accuracy and high performance algorithm based on well-known SIMPLE-C method. "Trials-and-errors on computers" to save real trials-and-errors which is costly.
 Let FlowDesigner Handle Calculation
You take care of more important concerns and let FlowDesigner do the tedious job. This is the main concept for FlowDesigner development. We want you to utilize FlowDesigner to develop your designs and ideas. FlowDesigner is designed to be a "Workbook" for you!
 Quick Start
Is spending substantial time on familiarizing with tools reasonable? FlowDesigner is the tool for busy designers and engineers who don't have time to be CFD specialists. We simplify operation required to simulate and visualize air flow. FlowDesigner makes CFD feasible for you!
