FLACS-CFD Features & Benefits

X Suite Product from Gexcon
FLACS CFD Software

Leading consequence modelling tool

FLACS-CFD has been developed over the last 50 years based on validation against 1,000+ real incidents and experiments as well as advanced research and development. It is the number one consequence modelling software tool used by safety experts from leading organisations around the world.

Local geometrical effects of real scenarios

FLACS-CFD can capture the contributing and mitigating aspects of all geometry, enabling realistic and detailed safety modelling.

Quick and easy import of large, complex geometries enables users to create realistic models by applying materials and textures.

Flexible pricing

Only pay for the features that you need. Our annual and short term subscription pricing menu gives users ultimate flexibility without restrictions. Whether you are a single user or have large scale capacity requirements, we can tailor software pricing to meet your needs.

Excellent 3D visualisations

The outputs of FLACS-CFD allow data-driven decisions at all stages of a facility’s or project’s lifecycle.

Our users can easily generate stunning images and videos that allow effective and powerful communication of the results of simulations.

Specialist modules for multiple hazards

FLACS-CFD addresses key industry challenges. Our solvers are designed to help safety experts and engineers across a range of industries with multiple hazards.

FLACS-Hydrogen is the only CFD software to be extensively validated against hydrogen explosions while FLACS-DustEx is the only CFD software that has been extensively validated against dust explosions.

Modelling for 1,800 chemical components

FLACS-CFD models flammable and toxic release scenarios for 1,800 chemical components based on the DIPPR database.

Validation on real life testing

Data from 1,000+ physical experiments and real incidents have been categorised and stored in Gexcon’s validation database which is continuously expanded with new internal and external test data.

Validation engineers continuously check that data generated through the automated validation framework is consistent with actual experiments.

Efficient set up of scenarios and simulations

Setting up simulations is quick and easy. An exceptionally detailed geometrical model can be created imported and cleaned up rapidly.

FLACS-CFD’s quick grid functions allow a mesh to be created efficiently and easily. The intuitive CASD user interface allows the scenarios to be set up in minutes.

Dedicated training and help desk

Full training is available for FLACS-CFD. We also deliver webinars for specific hazards featuring case study material and applications.
