CFD 2016 – Faster and Lighter Work faster and smoother, even on the largest models
Element count
New Scalable Solver = ~80% scaling ratio i.e. 8 PCs yields 640% speed-up vs 1 PC
Basic LAN network configuration
Alternate solver enabled via flag
New graphics engine delivers significant
large model performance improvements 15 to 20 X frame rate increase
Largest of models navigate with ease

CFD Geometry and Meshing Minimize time and effort going from CAD to a high quality CFD mesh
• Quickly find model issues before building your mesh
• Identify geometry gaps, interferences, slivers
Model Assessment
Toolkit
• Rapidly import, repair, and de-feature geometry
• Make quick design changes to explore “what ifs”
• Expanded functionality like ECAD support
NEW CAD Prep Tool –
Autodesk® SimStudio Tools
2016
• Wrap over almost any solid or surface geometry
• Automatically build and mesh enclosing fluid volume
• Labs project graduation
Automated
Surface Wrapper
