A longer-term experiment for extending RHXY into flow, thermal-fluid, and aerodynamic load analysis.
PROTEUS explores how CFD and thermal-fluid decisions can enter RHXY workflows after structural validation.
What it enables
Flow review
Handle internal and external flow conditions in a product design review context.
Thermal-fluid connection
Explore convective heat transfer alongside structural and thermal results.
Long-term expansion
Graduate into an RHXY flow analysis layer once enough validation is available.
How it works
Frame
Define flow problems, boundary conditions, and target outputs.
Model
Validate base solver directions and turbulence/heat transfer models.
Connect
Design output structures that can connect to future RHXY product experiences.
Example outputs
