CFxD (ver. 2.09.01, June 9, 2026)

A new CFxD update is now available.

Version 2.09.01 introduces several important improvements to performance and workflow. This release includes code optimization, further GUI improvements, a new STEP export option in Geometry, and support for multi-domain conjugate heat transfer (CHT) simulations.

What is new in CFxD 2.09.01

  • General (IMP): Code optimization
  • General (IMP): GUI improvements
  • Geometry (NEW): Export to STEP file added
  • All (NEW): CHT multi-domain support implemented

The addition of STEP export makes it easier to transfer geometry for use in other tools and workflows. The new multi-domain CHT support extends thermal simulation capabilities by allowing conjugate heat transfer analysis across multiple solid domains.

New CFxD Benchmark Comparison Report

A new CFxD Benchmark Comparison Report is now available in the Documentation section.

The report presents a technical comparison between CFxD and Ansys Fluent for representative CFD applications, including:

  • Internal and external flows
  • Forced and natural convection
  • Compressible subsonic flow
  • Porous-media resistance
  • Transient vortex shedding
  • Non-reacting gas mixing
  • Rotating flow using MRF
  • Conjugate heat transfer

The report compares velocity, pressure, temperature, and species-distribution results using contours, profiles, and selected quantitative parameters.

This document is intended as a preliminary software-to-software benchmark demonstrating the consistency of CFxD results across a range of engineering flow and heat-transfer cases.
