OVERVIEW

Fidelity CFD Solution

A streamlined CFD workflow for design, multidisciplinary analysis, and optimization in a single environment.

The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) industry faces increasing demand for efficiency, fidelity, and speed. Don’t settle for tried-and-true solutions when you step into environments that have yet to be developed. Improved real behavioral modeling of systems yields greater degrees of fidelity and security for the products you send out into the world. The requirements for multidisciplinary modeling, analysis, and optimization are vast and include:

Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) coupling flow and heat transfer
Fluid-structure interactions (FSI)
Fluid-chemistry and multiphase interactions like combustion
Aero-acoustics coupling flow and noise

The Cadence^®Fidelity^™CFD Platform is the end-to-end solution for all CFD-related applications. The dedicated tools within Fidelity CFD can solve each step of the simulation process quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, Fidelity CFD was designed with ease of use in mind with an intuitive and application-driven interface or through automated processes with the Python API or optimization module available.

Products

A Glimpse at Some All-Star Products Within Fidelity CFD

Fidelity CFD is home to an incredible array of pre-processing, post-processing, and solver tools capable of tackling the routine and standard CFD difficulties, as well as solving for the convergence of any combination of turbulence or otherwise complicated flow problems.

Fidelity Automesh

Fidelity Automesh Mesh Generation automates the laborious geometry preparation process without losing any detail of the geometry and delivers quality meshes ready for CFD analysis in near real-time.

Fidelity Turbo

The Fidelity Turbo Solver’s unique toolset encompasses a complete end-to-end solution for turbomachinery: 1D to 3D, meshing, CFD, and optimization all in one single environment that displays an unsurpassed ease of use and accuracy.

Fidelity Flow

Thanks to the simultaneous solution of momentum and continuity equations, the Fidelity Flow Solver’s pressure-based solver (PBS) yields faster convergence compared to classical, loosely coupled, segregated pressure-based solvers. The density-based solver (DBS) allows engineers to solve multi-phase, -fluid, and -species challenges with the fastest technology on the market.

Fidelity Marine

The Fidelity Marine Solver’s excellence in free surface resolution, trim optimization, and highly automated workflows enable CFD simulations for marine applications to solve faster and with greater degrees of accuracy than ever before.

Fidelity Optimization

The Fidelity Optimization Solver delivers multidisciplinary, multi-objective design optimization coupled with uncertainty quantification, allowing engineers to account for variability in geometry and input conditions to ensure their designs deliver optimum performance throughout the operating envelope.

Features

Save Time and Money with an All-in-One CFD Solution

Built with the engineer’s quality of life in mind, some of the standout features of Fidelity CFD have been tested to save months of time from a simulation team across a year’s project lifetime.

Full CFD Workflow

From design to verify, enjoy realistic 3D system modeling in one CFD platform.

While the CFD simulation world continues to largely adopt as many tools into their workflow as necessary to come to a truly accurate solution, we contend that having a singular solution is preferred. Enter the all-in-one Fidelity CFD software. Your workflow involves geometry import and preparation, meshing, process resource management, data monitoring and analysis, and the solving capabilities you’ve come to know and love. Fidelity CFD offers all of this and more.

With a highly automated, customizable GUI, you can choose the iterative workflow you need to solve your modeling and simulation challenges with the desired speed and fidelity. With accuracy becoming more imperative, the benefit of not having to switch between environments can mean greater ease and speed to implement the high-fidelity simulations your systems need by reducing the file import process. Increase individual and team productivity with Fidelity CFD.

Adjust for High Speed and High Fidelity

Optimize your simulation for any computational and project timeline preference depending on allocated resources and available hours.

Not every simulation requires exhaustive simulation accuracy, and not every simulation can afford to take the quickest route to job completion. In any CFD simulation workflow it is likely that you’re mixing and matching your various iterations based on these parameters: save the high fidelity runs for when you have iterated and want close-to-final verification, and otherwise use some speed-prioritized, highly efficient iterations to run through your exhaustive list of phenomena, conditions, and flow domains.

RANS
LES
DES

With a host of different potential methods for solving available in Fidelity CFD, the highly automated GUI enables an all-in-one location for the various iterative needs of your workflow. Don’t waste time retooling your simulation parameters and files for various external workflows if you can avoid it. Trust Fidelity CFD to get your jobs done right in one tried-and-true location.

Industry-Specific Solutions

Cater to the specific flow domains and physical phenomenon at work in the model you are concerned with.

Almost any challenge faced in the field of computational fluid dynamics these days requires some form of specialty code, solver, or algorithm. In-house solutions still prevail across various industry verticals, and they often use different data structures and formats or do not offer a user-friendly interface. Fidelity CFD not only integrates multiple industry-specific modules but also connects to third-party and in-house tools to create dedicated workflows and benefit from its user-friendly environment.

Radiation
Non-Linear Harmonics
Unsteady Flow
Full-Engine Simulation

Free-Surface Flows
Particles, motions, and contacts
