FloMASTER Software Updated

Mentor Graphics has released the latest version of its FloMASTER thermo-fluid system modeling product.

According to Mentor, new technologies in this release include Model-Based Design (MBD), Simulation-Based Characterization (SBC) for component modeling, an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) solver for Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) systems and an enhanced easy-to-use interface.

Users will also have the capability to create thermo-fluid components with up to 60 arms and drive system models from pre-generated Excel spreadsheets.

“This new release of FloMASTER provides even greater power and SBC performance with respect to 3D CFD, yet it’s easy to use with an enhanced user experience so that any organization can take advantage of the advanced capabilities to deliver superior products with faster time-to-market results” said Roland Feldhinkel, general manager of Mentor Graphics Mechanical Analysis Division. “Our FloMASTER technology spans over 30 years of history serving a broad range of industries and our latest release now extends to new thermo-dynamic markets such as ORC.”
