“Companies derive tremendous value when fluid flow and heat transfer issues are proactively addressed during the early design stages and within a 3D modeling environment,” stated Blue Ridge Numerics president, Ed Williams. “Autodesk Inventor 11 and CFdesign v8.0 create an excellent digital prototyping platform that is ideally suited for design engineers and multi-tasking staff that want CFD to be an on-demand tool not a career path.”
On average, engineering groups using CFdesign are reducing the time to develop, test, and prove new products by 70%. Customers also report they are cutting costs for materials and outside services by 65%.
Fluid Flow Capabilities include:
- Internal & External
- Laminar & Turbulent
