CFdesign v6 is Certified for Autodesk Inventor 6

News Blue Ridge Numerics Inc., developer of CFdesign® software for fluid flow, heat transfer, and electronics cooling simulation, announces that its latest release of CFdesign, has received certification for Autodesk Inventor® 6 under the Autodesk Inventor Certified Applications Program. Certification is granted to applications that meet standards set by Autodesk to ensure quality, robustness and the highest level of interoperability with Autodesk Inventor 3D mechanical design software.

CFdesign v6.0 focuses on rapid product optimization with new capabilities to enable mainstream product development engineers working on tight deadlines. The speed in which CFdesign v6.0 uses highly complex Autodesk Inventor software assemblies to analyze and qualitatively compare design variations is what sets CFdesign apart from traditional CFD applications. On average, implementing CFdesign can reduce the time it takes to develop, test, and prove a new product design by 70% while reducing the costs associated with staff time and materials by 65%.

Changes made to a component or assembly within Autodesk Inventor software are automatically reflected in CFdesign v6.0, eliminating the time-consuming task of creating and managing multiple geometry models during a project lifecycle. With CFdesign v6.0 there is always only one model and it is updated and managed within Autodesk Inventor software.

Receive a Free Demo CD at Booth #5901

Visitors to the National Design Engineering Show (March 3-6) can see a demonstration of CFdesign and receive a free CFdesign v6.0 demonstration CD in the Autodesk Partner Pavillion, located in Exhibit Hall A on Level 3 of McCormick Place South.

“We continue to see a global trend among Autodesk Inventor software users toward the adoption of integrated, associative design analysis tools like CFdesign,” said Barrett Kamille, solutions development manager for the Manufacturing Solutions Division at Autodesk. “By participating in the Autodesk Inventor Certified Applications program, Blue Ridge demonstrates a shared commitment to leveraging the power of digital data to optimize productivity and reduce costs throughout the manufacturing design process.”

“CFdesign has broken down the barriers long associated with traditional CFD software,” said Jim Spann, Blue Ridge Numerics marketing vice president. “It is ideally suited for Autodesk Inventor users with little or no analysis expertise, it fits into existing product design processes, it significantly reduces budgetary overhead, and it opens the door to innovative product designs not possible by building and testing physical prototypes.”

Industries currently using CFdesign include aerospace, automotive, electronics, filtration, household products, HVAC systems, industrial flow control and valves, medical, plumbing, processing (food, chemical and materials), and power generation.

BAE Systems, Bioject, Bristol Compressors, BWD Turbines, Cummins Engine, Delta Faucet, Honda, Ingersoll-Rand, Moen, Moog, MTI MicroFuel Cells, Norgren, Northrop Grumman, Siemens, Spalding Sports, Sulzer Carbomedics, and Symbol Technologies are just a few of the companies using CFdesign to help bring better products to market faster.
