CADRE Flow is a utility for fluid system analysis used for simulating flow networks based on finite element principles. It will determine flow rates and pressures throughout a system accounting for friction and discrete losses. It also will provide fluid momentum and pressure forces on joints and fittings. These forces can be exported for import to CADRE Lite or CADRE Pro for structural analysis.
FloCAD is a Thermal Desktop module that allows a user to develop and integrate both fluid and thermal systems within a CAD based environment. Like Thermal Desktop, FloCAD is a graphical user interface for SINDA/FLUINT. With FloCAD, the mechanics of building fluid submodels is very similar to that of building thermal submodels, with many of the commands working on components of both types of submodels.
SINDA/FLUINT is a comprehensive finite-difference, lumped parameter (circuit or network analogy) tool for heat transfer design analysis and fluid flow analysis in complex systems.
