Flowmaster simulation software for thermo-fluid systems now has a functional mock-up interface (FMI) that enables usage of Flowmaster models in an open-source environment. Includes export capability. Provides enhanced secondary air solver and natural circulation capability. Secondary air feature provides solver algorithms that improve the stability and accuracy of modeling flow through rotating parts. Natural circulation capability simulates fluid circulation in a closed loop system without a pump through gravity and heat energy changes. Parametric studies capability now provides users with greater flexibility in setting up design study inputs. Smart modeling is enabled. Monte Carlo simulation functionality now includes random value generation for each instance of a parameter and individual calculation of mean, sigma, minimum and maximum. Monte Carlo simulation provides examination of small thermal variation effects in input values.
