Hi guys
I read the brochure from MSC and as i understant it is a meshfree aerodynamic software, does anyone used it? i believe that ir needs a lot of time to solve an aerodynamic problem if it is SPH and also it needs high end computers, so what kind of meshfree method does it use? |

My guess is it was derived from their RealFlow product, geared towards visual special effects and animation. And they took that and made it more realistic. So what you get is a software not derived from scientists but artists, kind of. It may turn into something great one day?

What I know it that it's quite good in subsonic and transonic regime while in supersonic speeds it's not very well tested. Note - These are all my personal comments. |

Xflow does not use the Navier-Stockes Equation for continuous Fluid Mechanics, it use Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and Lattice Gas Automata (LGA) (methods based on a mesoscopic framework) and extends them to overcome most of the limitations present on these schemes.

@ Eleazar: XFlow solves the external aerodynamics with very acceptable engineering simulation time and accuracy. These are transient analysis so they run longer, I run most of my simulations on a standard desktop.
@ Kevin De: Visualization has some background of realflow, however under the hood its a code that eliminates barriers with traditional CFD softwares like meshing, dirty CAD, complex motion problems and solves them with accuracy. |

Hey Joern,
I like the skepticism. XFlow is certainly a paradigm shift where it eliminates the barriers from traditional CFD of meshing, dirty CAD , complex motion problems. Saket |
