Flomerics Overview

Flomerics provides simulation software tools and services primarily to the electronics industry - to improve and accelerate the physical design process. Our software enables engineers to predict the behavior of a proposed design prior to the build and test phase - this is often called "virtual-prototyping". Our software integrates analysis and design enabling engineers to test and validate their ideas as they are being developed.

Our software breaks down communication barriers between electrical and mechanical engineers enabling fast resolution of conflicting requirements that are traditionally difficult to resolve. Finally, our software is designed for specific applications. This approach – called “Design-Class Analysis - provides the highest levels of specialization and automation available from analysis software and is key to unlocking productivity for experts and non-experts alike.

Customers achieve significant cost savings and design cycle compression through using our software as point solutions or as an Integrated Analysis Environment. Our client list includes virtually all of the major electronics companies in the world.

Flomerics develops a number of complementary software programs, which deal with different aspects of the physical design of electronics (FLOTHERM, FLO/EMC, FLO/PCB, FLOPACK, FLO/MCAD, SmartParts3D, Micro-Stripes). Flomerics also develops FLOVENT, a software program which is applied to the heating, air-conditioning and ventilation of buildings.
As well as providing software, Flomerics offers a rapid-response consultancy service from industry specialists for companies who wish to outsource some or all of their design, simulation and test work. 

Flomerics is a world-leading player in the rapidly-expanding fields of "virtual prototyping" and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE). We provide engineering simulation software and consultancy services for analysis of fluid flow and heat transfer. Using Flomerics’ software and consultancy services, our customers accelerate their design processes, optimize their proposed designs, eliminate mistakes and dramatically reduce costs by predicting product behavior before building physical prototypes. Flomerics` approach to engineering analysis is drastically different from traditional analysis because our software is designed to be embedded deeply into the design process and used by mainstream design engineers, not only by analysis specialists.

Electronics Cooling

Flomerics is the clear market leader in thermal simulation of electronic equipment, with a client list including virtually all the major electronics companies in the world. We provide an integrated suite of software tools for thermal analysis of individual IC packages, circuit boards, and complete electronic systems. Our software removes communication barriers between electrical and mechanical engineers enabling fast resolution of thermal management problems that are traditionally difficult, expensive and time-consuming to resolve. Customers achieve significant cost reductions and design cycle compression through using our software either as point solutions or as an Integrated Analysis Environment. Through our MicReD subsidiary we offer thermal testing equipment that complements the software simulation business.

Engineering Fluid Dynamics

Flomerics’ EFD product family is a new breed of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software that enables mechanical design engineers to analyze and optimize complex fluid flow and heat transfer processes across a wide range of products and industries. 7 key technologies distinguish the EFD product family from traditional CFD software, making it quicker and easier to use, more robust, and more accurate. The EFD product family is tightly embedded with leading 3D mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) software.

Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC)

Flomerics’ FLOVENT software predicts 3D airflow, heat transfer and contamination distribution in and around buildings of all types and sizes. The software is tailored for building designers, with an easy-to-use menu system developed specifically for the design and optimization of heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. Our EFD software is also widely used in the HVAC industry for optimizing the performance of products such as air handling units, refrigeration units, heaters, etc.

Flomerics is a world leader in the computer simulation of engineering design processes involving fluid flow and heat transfer. Our customers accelerate and optimize their designs, eliminate mistakes and reduce costs by applying our simulation software and consultancy services before building physical prototypes. Unlike “traditional” analysis software, Flomerics’ software is embedded deeply into our customers’ mainstream design process enabling engineers to test, validate and optimize their designs as they are being developed.


EFD.Lab
is a fully-featured general-purpose 3D fluid flow and heat transfer analysis software. EFD stands for Engineering Fluid Dynamics - so named because the software is designed for use by engineers and is radically different from traditional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software which has evolved for specialists. EFD completely removes the complexities of numerical/mathematical schemes and computational mesh creation from the user, allowing engineers to focus on optimizing their designs in the shortest possible time.

 

FLOTHERM - our first and most successful analysis software tool – is the undisputed worldwide market leader in thermal analysis of electronic equipment. Heat affects the reliability and lifetime of electronic equipment, and as processing speeds rise, functional density increases, and equipment becomes smaller, thermal problems intensify. Through techniques of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) FLOTHERM predicts airflow and temperatures throughout the equipment. This enables the engineer to identify the source of any over-heating, and to devise and test appropriate design modifications quickly and easily. Typical applications range from computers and telecommunications equipment to less obvious examples such as the control electronics for lifts and domestic hi-fi equipment.


FLO/PCB
is a new software tool for accelerating the conceptual design of high-density printed-circuit boards. FLO/PCB improves communication between product marketing, electrical and mechanical engineers, and enables teams of engineers to work together and consider layout and thermal issues as the functional description is being defined.


FLOVENT is a powerful Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software that predicts 3D airflow, heat transfer and contamination distribution in and around buildings of all types and sizes. FLOVENT uses the same software structure and analysis engine as FLOTHERM, but the user interface is tailored specifically for building design. FLOVENT`s fast and easy-to-use menu system is designed specifically for the design and optimization of heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. Typical applications include data centers and IT rooms, clean rooms, auditoriums, shopping malls, office buildings, underground car parks, passenger comfort in vehicles, airport terminals, etc, air quality and contaminant control in laboratories, research facilities, and hospitals.
