What is Flownex?

Wednesday, 27 June 2012 13:22

Flownex International is a global software company providing engineers with system thermo-fluid simulation software.

Flownex Simulation Environment enables engineers to predict, design and optimise for; flow rates, pressures, temperatures, and heat transfer rates in fluid systems. Such systems include anything from ventilation systems, water and gas distribution systems up to boiler designs and complete power generation cycles. 

The ability to simulate systems with any combination of liquid, gas, two phase, slurry and mixture flows in both steady state and dynamic cases makes Flownex the most powerful simulation tool of its kind.
