System-Level Simulation for Complex Fluid Flow Networks
Simcenter Flomaster, part of the Siemens Simcenter simulation suite, is a leading 1D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool for modeling and analyzing complex fluid systems. It enables engineers to virtually design, simulate, and optimize fluid systems such as pipe networks, valve systems, cooling circuits, and pneumatic systems across a wide range of industries.
By simulating system-level behavior—including pressure drops, flow rates, transients, and thermal interactions—Simcenter Flomaster empowers engineers to improve system performance, reduce energy consumption, and avoid design failures early in development.
1D CFD for Fluid Networks
Simcenter Flomaster enables simulation of:
- Incompressible and compressible flows
- Single-phase and two-phase flow
- Gas, liquid, steam, and refrigerants
- Transient and steady-state conditions
- Fluid-structure interactions (FSI)
- Thermal-hydraulic behavior
It offers high computational speed compared to full 3D CFD, making it ideal for system-level design studies and early-stage simulation.
