    • Physical applications

      Flux allows to model different physical phenomena, and includes various applications (magnetic, electrical, thermal and thermal coupled).

    • Circuit and Kinematic Couplings

      Flux is coupled to a circuit context allowing to model the sources of the devices.Flux also allow to model the movement via a kinematic coupling.

    • Co-simulation between Flux and another software

      Flux is able to couple with several softwares allowing to model mutliphysics phenomena.

    • Dedicated couplings

      Several dedicated couplings are implemented in Flux to, carry out vibro-acoustic studies, magneto-thermal studies and more.

    • 3D Overlay

      Flux has predefined models for rotating machines via Overlays allowing to describe a geometry, a mesh and a physics adapted to the wished machine.

    • Flux API
  • Flux Skew

    Flux Skew is a module allowing to facilitate the realization of a quasi 3D or 2 ½ D study starting from a 2D description.

  • Flux PEEC

    Flux PEEC is a 3D modeling module dedicated to electrical interconnections of power electronics devices. It also provides RLC extraction and generation of SPICE-like equivalent circuits.

  • Material Manager

    Flux has a material manager with its own material base.The user can create his own material base and import them into the Flux models to be studied.

  • Examples

    See the lists of examples 2D, 3D, SKEW and PEEC with all available documents and all project and python files.

  • Mementos

    See a list of Memento documents to understand certain Flux features.

  • Macros

    Flux proposes several macros enabling doing actions that are not yet implemented in Flux.

  • PyFlux Documentation (Beta version)

    This documentation deals with the Jython script used in Flux and allows to understand the various structures of entities and functions, and use it in user scripts for example.

  • Flux installation guide

    This document provides instructions for Flux installation on supported platforms.

  • Quick Start CDE

    This document guides you through using Computing Distribution Engine.
