Description of FloCAD

FloCAD is a Thermal Desktop software module that enables a user to develop fully integrated thermohydraulic models for fluid flow and heat transfer. With FloCAD, the mechanics of building fluid flow models is very similar to that of building thermal models, with many of the commands applicable to both types of models. FloCAD models can be free-form, sketchpad style flow network modeling for abstraction and simplification, or they can be geometry-based by including geometric objects such as pipes and vessels. Convection heat transfer can be added between fluid networks and thermal objects for complete pipe flow simulation or the modeling of natural convection.

A great software and fun experience

The tool was easy to learn how to use once I actually started using it. It's also pretty intuitive if you're used to other CAD programs which are like that (i.e., AutoCad). The tool has everything you need in order to design piping systems - from creating sections down to working out flows across pumps. There isn't much I disliked about this product; however, there were times when I would have liked more functionality than what was available within the program itself. For example, sometimes I…

Pros
  • User friendly
  • Easy way we can do different types with ease.
  • Ease at drawing pipe networks/pipelines
  • Ability To change colors easily

Simple yet powerful tool with many options

Easy to use and intuitive. The program runs fast and has all the features you need. I like that it allows you to create your own tools and customize it to fit your needs. For example, I would love if there was an option to change the order in which you add components to your model. It's easy to make mistakes when creating a 3D model. Also, I don't like how you can only save one version of a file at a time. It takes too long to switch back and forth between versions. If you are looking for a…

Pros
  • I like that it allows you to create your own tools and customize it to fit your needs
Cons
  • I wish there was an option to save different versions of your model and the ability to switch between versions faster

A good and simple program for engineers

It's easy enough when you get used it but there are some things I didn't see straight away - like how much space each element takes up in your model so make sure this fits if its going to take too long/much time (it was taking quite sometime due to all elements being displayed). There isn’t anything bad about using FLoCA at first though maybe just look around different programs before deciding which one would suit best! You're solving problems relating to design engineering projects within…

Pros
  • The 3D function is very helpful for me as an engineer.
  • How simple everything seemed, even something that looks complicated such has working with vectors can be done easily
  • Very user friendly interface makes learning fun rather than boring or difficult
Cons
  • Maybe sometimes getting stuck during certain operations
