III. FloMCADBridge

FloMCAD.Bridge enables parts and assemblies from any mechanical CAD system such as Pro/Engineer, SolidWorks, and CATIA to be transferred easily and rapidly to and from FloTHERM for thermal analysis.

This is a crucial advantage because MCAD solid models often contain a vast amount of thermally insignificant geometric detail. FloMCAD.Bridge is a productivity tool designed to help the engineer speed up and automate the simplification process leading to greater productivity and faster turnaround in thermal analysis.

Features and Benefits

• a) Allows for the automatic abstractions necessary to prepare the geometry for efficient analysis.
• b) Runs with FloTHERM.
• c) Enables parts and assemblies from any Mechanical Computer Aided Design (MCAD) software to be transferred to and from FloTHERM for thermal analysis.
