FlowVision
www.capvidia.com
FlowVision combined with SIMULIA/ABAQUS offers unique co-simulation capabilities for solving
heavily coupled fluid-structure-interaction problems. The SGGR based grid generation provides natural
link between the fluid and FEA domains. The wetted interface is automatically established and can
involve moving object with arbitrary complexity. The MPM (Multi-Physics-Manager) controls both

FlowVision and ABAQUS during the simulation process. The data is exchanged through ABAQUS Direct
Coupling Interface providing optimal and accurate data transfer rates and support of parallel
processing, which significantly speeds up the simulations. The most complex FSI problem can be solved
