Symscape Releases SymLab RANS Flow

Monday, 02 November 2009

Symscape is pleased to announce the new SymLab RANS Flow add-on for Windows and Linux as part of the latest release of SymLab (v2.0). SymLab is a unified simulation environment which can be extended using add-ons into a complete Computer-Aided Engineering system for fluid flow analysis.

The new SymLab RANS Flow add-on can simulate realistic (viscous) gas and liquid flow with heat transfer using state-of-the-art Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). SymLab RANS Flow makes it easy to simulate complex fluid flow around and through your design with SymLab's automated meshing tools and its easy-to-use visualization tools.

SymLab RANS Flow uses a custom version of OpenFOAM[1] that is capable of simulating complex fluid flow and heat transfer over and through virtually any configuration, whether it be the external flow over a wind-turbine, aircraft, car, or a submersible, or the internal flow through a computer case, mining drill, pipe, or duct.

A SymLab RANS Flow subscription is $799.99/year.

SymLab RANS Flow is also included in the SymLab Professional add-on, which provides a complete Computer-Aided Engineering system for fluid flow analysis, and contains:

RANS Flow
Panel Flow: use a panel method to simulate idealized (inviscid) fluid flow around streamlined shapes and through simple ducts
Builder: create and modify 2D and 3D geometry
Transient: explore time-dependent simulations and visualization of results
Exchange: import and export IGES, STEP and faceted file formats
Viz Export: export 3D results to high resolution, high quality renderers and other visualization packages

You can purchase a SymLab Professional subscription for $999.99/year, making it the most affordable and integrated commercial CFD solution on the market.

SymLab v2.0 Enhancements

Amongst many SymLab v2.0 enhancements, the highlights are:

Improvements in the robustness of the triangle and tetrahedral meshing algorithms and improved quality of the meshes that both tools produce
The quadrilateral and hexahedral meshing algorithms are no longer constrained to have equal resolution in all topological directions
SymLab can now exploit multi-processor/core CPUs to speed up certain operations, such as the solution time for the solver used in the SymLab Panel Flow add-on

Free Trials

Our software is available to download and install directly from our website. We offer free 30-day trials and affordable subscriptions for SymLab add-ons.
