Altair Flow Simulator 2022.1.1

The software developer Altair is pleased to announce the availability of Flow Simulator 2022.1.1 is the single, unified fluid system design tool/platform for GE Aviation’s Thermal System design, Combustion, Lube/fuel systems, and externals teams. It is rooted in decades of practical usage and experience, with aerospace-quality level validation and verification.

Altair Flow Simulator 2022.1.1 Release Notes

Highlights
- Issues with the Flow Simulator solver, stemming from the 2022.1 release, have been resolved.
Known Issues
The following known issues will be addressed in a future release as we continuously improve software performance:
- The new controller interface does not work with controllers that have two relations. For example, 1D table and Python script in the same controller.
Resolved Issues
- Random solver crash related to file size and “FTELL” FORTRAN function.
- Custom Correlations used in cavities. Solver was not reading user inputs correctly.
- Generic Heat Exchanger using Heat Transfer Option = “Cold Fluid Exit Quality” solver problem.
- New Heat Mode=”Heat from Compression” to use adiabatic efficiency rather than polytropic efficiency.
- Issue with the Robust solver and models that use Coolprop for fluid properties.


Flow Simulator is a 3D design tool that provides interdisciplinary modeling and optimization for fluid and thermal systems within a CAD-integrated environment.

System-level design has become increasingly critical as organizations are tasked with simulating complex duty cycles. Fast software solutions like Flow Simulator are needed to model an entire system, including rapid iteration concept modeling and understanding of system simulation and system behavior in applications such as rotating machinery design, electromobility, wind turbines, heat exchangers, and virtually anything that encompasses thermal management.

Flow Simulator was originally developed by GE Aviation to serve as a fast flow network simulator for aircraft engines – simulating how an entire flight cycle would behave in the real world, from runway and take off to flight and landing. Since its inception, it has been used to simplify modeling for a variety of complex thermal systems applications, including healthcare, locomotives, and renewable energy.
