ESI-CFD CFD-ACE-GUI 1.0

ESI-CFD CFD-ACE-GUI is a graphical user interface for building, running, and analyzing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and multiphysics models with the CFD-ACE solver suite. It streamlines the end-to-end workflow by guiding users through geometry/mesh import, material and property definition, selection of physics, boundary and initial conditions, solver controls, and results visualization—all within a single environment.

Key capabilities

• Supports single- and multi-physics setups, including fluid flow, heat transfer, species transport, reacting flows, radiation, conjugate heat transfer, and multiphase models (with optional modules available in some configurations).
• Coupled-physics configuration in one model, with tools to manage interactions between domains and materials.
• Geometry and mesh import from common formats, plus model organization through a clear project tree and units management.
• Parametric studies and batch runs to explore design variants and perform basic design-of-experiments workflows.
• Solver monitoring with residual histories, convergence criteria, and runtime controls.
• Post-processing features such as contours, vectors, streamlines, iso-surfaces, and XY plots, with options to export data and images for reporting.

Typical applications

• Electronics cooling and broader thermal management
• Microfluidics and MEMS
• Semiconductor process modeling (e.g., CVD, etch, plasma processes)
• Chemical reactors, combustion, and reacting flows
• Biomedical and life-science flows
• Aerospace and automotive aerodynamics and under-hood thermal analysis

Notes

• CFD-ACE-GUI is a front end for the CFD-ACE solver and requires appropriate licenses; available modules and features depend on the licensed configuration.
• Performance and scalability depend on the underlying hardware and solver setup.
