Simcenter FLOEFD is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software developed by Mentor, a Siemens Business. FloEFD is known for its unique approach to CFD, as it is embedded directly within popular computer-aided design (CAD) systems. This integration allows engineers to conduct fluid flow and heat transfer simulations directly within their CAD environment, making it a powerful tool for concurrent engineering and design optimization.

FreeFEM is a partial differential equation solver for non-linear multi-physics systems in 2D and 3D using the finite element method. Problems involving partial differential equations from several branches of physics such as fluid-structure interactions require interpolations of data on several meshes and their manipulation within one program. FreeFEM includes a fast interpolation algorithm and a language for the manipulation of data on multiple meshes. It is written in C++ and the FreeFEM language is a C++ idiom.

FEniCS is a popular open-source computing platform for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) with the finite element method (FEM). FEniCS enables users to quickly translate scientific models into efficient finite element code. With the high-level Python and C++ interfaces to FEniCS, it is easy to get started, but FEniCS offers also powerful capabilities for more experienced programmers. FEniCS runs on a multitude of platforms ranging from laptops to high-performance computers.

Elmer is a finite element software package for the solution of partial differential equations. Elmer can deal with a great number of different equations, which may be coupled in a generic manner making Elmer a versatile tool for multiphysical simulations. As an open source software, Elmer also gives the user the means to modify the existing solution procedures and to develop new solvers for equations of interest to the user.

The Palabos library is a framework for general-purpose computational fluid dynamics (CFD), with a kernel based on the lattice Boltzmann (LB) method. It is used both as a research and an engineering tool: its programming interface is straightforward and makes it possible to set up fluid flow simulations with relative ease, or, if you are knowledgeable of the lattice Boltzmann method, to extend the library with your own models. Palabos stands for Parallel Lattice Boltzmann Solver.

Future Facilities calls itself a digital twin company that offers an array of different options for companies to model and monitor data centers. The 6SigmaET division of the company, however, has another focus: thermal simulation of electronics components. 6SigmaET was born in 2009 and built around a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver. The new Release 16 of 6SigmaET has several improvements related to faster solutions and better visual representation of those solutions.
