FLOW-3D HYDRO 2024R1
FLOW-3D HYDRO is the complete 3D CFD modeling solution for the civil and environmental engineering industry. Powered by the industry-leading FLOW-3D solver engine, FLOW-3D HYDRO is a cutting-edge, integrative solution that puts exceptional simulation capabilities into the hands of engineers and water specialists working to meet 21st century challenges in water resource management and protection. FLOW-3D HYDRO’s highly-accurate free surface solution is complemented by a range of additional modeling capabilities, including air entrainment, sediment scour and transport, tailings flows, and 2D/3D hybrid modeling. FLOW-3D HYDRO is developed for a range of computing environments, from a personal laptop to a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster. Its streamlined, water-focused user interface, simulation templates, and in-depth training and support make this powerful tool accessible to those who are new to 3D CFD as well as numerical modeling experts.
An exciting new development in FLOW-3D HYDRO 2024R1 is the introduction of a Site coordinate system (sometimes called a local or project coordinate system) that facilitates working with geographic coordinate systems by allowing objects such as topography and bathymetry to be defined in a geographic coordinate system (e.g., UTM) while other objects are defined in a convenient local coordinate system (e.g., BIM coordinates). This new capability reduces the time, effort, and risk associated with manual coordinate transformations during the model setup with a clear, simple interface for setting the Site coordinate system, as well as an option to simply read it from a Revit shared coordinate file.
