It enables product development engineers to rapidly simulate the flow of any gas or liquid over or through product designs using native 3D models built in leading mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) systems, including Autodesk Inventor, Pro/ENGINEER, SolidWorks, and three systems from EDS: I-DEAS, Solid Edge, and Unigraphics. The software also simulates the transfer of heat (conduction, convection, and radiation), allowing engineers to alleviate worries of products overheating in the field, one of the primary causes of product failure and warranty exposure.
By reducing reliance on traditional physical prototyping and test methods, CFdesign customers report projects are completed 70% faster and department-level expenses are reduced by 65%.
“Our phenomenal growth rate is further evidence of the growing acceptance among product development companies that they can design and build better products faster and less expensively when they use CFdesign to prove out new designs while still on the digital drawing board,” says Ed Williams, president of Blue Ridge Numerics Inc.
