CFD-CADalyzer Upfront CFD Design Tool |
|
CFD-CADalyzer provides the design engineer with enhanced decision support by permitting rapid sequential or parallel CFD simulations to assess the potential performance of multiple design variants and alternatives. CFD-CADalyzer has been designed to work directly on the CAD model, avoiding the pitfalls associated with translation between different geometry representations.
Imagine reducing a dozen design alternatives down to two or three high potential designs without having to leave your computer!
As much as 70% of product cost is in play at the design phase.
In the early stages of design, "Get it right first time" is increasingly becoming the team chant as companies strive for competitive edge.
On average 85% of the project's time and cost are determined in the first 5% of effort. With CFD-CADalyzer, you have the ability to predict performance and operating characteristics, and much more confidently commit to expensive physical prototyping and testing.
CFD-CADalyzer provides you unmatched accuracy and best in class cost of ownership.
CFD-CADalyzer is available for virtually all of the leading MCAD products including Pro/E, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Mechanical Desktop and ACIS & Parasolid.

CFD-FASTRAN CFD Physics Solver |
|
CFD-FASTRAN is the leading commercial CFD software for aerodynamic
and aerothermodynamic applications. It is specifically designed to
support the aerospace industry. It employs state-of-the-art multiple
moving body capability for simulating most complex aerospace problems
including missile launch, maneuvering and staging, and aircraft flight
dynamics and store separation. These challenging applications are
enabled by coupling a density based compressible Euler and
Navier-Stokes flow solver with moving multi-body dynamics, generalized
finite rate chemistry and thermal non-equilibrium modules.
CFD-FASTRAN employs state-of-the-art numerical and physical models,
and advanced pre- and post-processing modules. It supports all grid
technologies including multi-block structured, general polyhedral
unstructured, Chimera/overset and adaptive Cartesian. It supports most
of the commonly used data formats. Furthermore, CFD-FASTRAN works on
all computer hardware/software systems. It is designed for parallel
computing on high performance workstations and PC clusters.
