Engineering Fluid Dynamics (EFD) is a new breed of fluid 
flow and heat transfer simulation software that is 
radically different from traditional CFD software because: 

EFD is developed for mechanical engineers – not fluid 
dynamics specialists

EFD is less expensive than traditional CFD software

EFD is tightly integrated with MCAD software including 
Pro/ENGINEER, CATIAv5 and SolidWorks. You can set up 
models in EFD without leaving your familiar MCAD 
environment. And most importantly, the EFD solver 
interacts directly with your native MCAD model, so that 
the thermal/fluid analysis is embedded in your central 
mechanical design flow with no possibility of 
inconsistencies between CAD and “analysis” versions of the 
product

EFD is quicker to learn and easier to use than traditional 
CFD software, for example: 

EFD works out automatically where the fluid flow regions 
are in your solid CAD model 

EFD produces complete, pre-formatted results reports in 
Word and/or HTML format at the click of a button

EFD is a fully-featured general-purpose fluid flow and 
heat transfer analysis software that can simulate almost 
any fluid flow application, from creeping non-Newtonian 
flows to supersonic gas flows. EFD is used in the design 
of pumps, valves and regulators; consumer appliances; 
biochemical and process industries; vehicle aerodynamics; 
optimizing airflow in and around buildings; cooling 
electronic equipment; etc.

Who Should Attend
CFD specialists, Mechanical engineers, Engineering 
managers, Technical Directors and all those dealing with 
real-world engineering design problems involving fluid 
flow or heat transfer.
