Flomerics Celebrates 20th Anniversary

By DE Editors

Flomerics, which celebrates its 20th anniversary as an independent company this year, attributes the landmark as testimony to the company’s core concept of delivering engineering simulation software for use by designers and engineers rather than just full-time analysts and specialists, according to Flomerics’ founder, David Tatchell.

The company’s first product, Flotherm, was launched in September 1989 for use in thermal design for electronic systems.

In 2006, Flomerics acquired the German-based company Nika GmbH together with a new breed of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software that is fully embedded in the mainstream mechanical design environment and enables mechanical design engineers to analyze and optimize complex fluid flow and heat transfer processes.

Seven key technologies distinguish the engineering fluid dynamics (EFD) product family from traditional CFD software, making it quicker and easier to use, robust, and accurate. The EFD product family is embedded with 3D mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) software such as SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, and CATIA V5.
