Fluid Flow Analysis Extender           This extender determines the steady and unsteady flow patterns for incompressible, laminar, Newtonian or non-Newtonian fluid flow designs. Knowledge of flow rates is optional, since inlet and outlet pressures can be specified instead of flow rates. This extender also handles turbulence in laminar flow designs. This feature enables the prediction of turbulent flow (large changes in velocity over small distances) and laminar flow (smooth, gradual changes in velocity distribution) at the same time in the same model. When coupled with stress analysis capabilities, the effects of stresses generated by fluid flows on containment vessels and/or interior constrictions can be calculated. When coupled with heat transfer analysis, it determines the effects of natural, forced or mixed convection.
