Exa Releases PowerFLOW 4.2, Features True Rotating Geometry for
Prediction of Fan Noise & Brake Cooling, Improved Accuracy & Turnaround
Time
Exa® Corporation, a global innovator of fluids simulation (CAE/CFD) software for product
engineering, announces a new release of its flagship product, PowerFLOW®. PowerFLOW 4.2
simulates true rotating geometry – an industry breakthrough that enables practical and accurate
prediction of fan noise, fan performance, brake cooling and wheel aerodynamics. In addition to
improved accuracy and simulation process turn-around time, PowerFLOW 4.2 also offers the
ability to simulate long-term transient thermal protection situations such as key-off and soak.
Burlington, MA (PRWEB) November 18, 2009 -- USA Exa® Corporation, a global innovator of fluids simulation
(CAE/CFD) software for product engineering, announces a new release of its flagship product, PowerFLOW®.
PowerFLOW 4.2 simulates true rotating geometry – an industry breakthrough that enables practical and accurate
prediction of fan noise, fan performance, brake cooling and wheel aerodynamics. In addition to improved
accuracy and simulation process turn-around time, PowerFLOW 4.2 also offers the ability to simulate long-term
transient thermal protection situations such as key-off and soak.
Since its inception, Exa Corporation has been committed to the seamless integration of simulation and analysis
into the engineering process. This new release continues the mission and offers capabilities that further enhance
accuracy and overall turn-around time. “With PowerFLOW 4.2 and true rotating geometry, not only are we
handling real-world applications that were not practically possible before, but we are also providing tools,
templates and physics improvements that streamline the simulation process, enabling product performance
analysis to be performed at the very earliest stages of design,” commented Charles Alexander, Exa’s Director of
Product Management for Simulation Products.
