CFdesign Army Grows by 1,500 in 06

More than 1,500 engineers completed the two-day CFdesign Boot Camp last year

Blue Ridge Numerics reported today that more than 1,500 engineers in industry completed a CFdesign fundamentals course during 2006. The two-day course, often referred to as ‘boot camp’, provides multi-tasking engineers with the knowledge and skills to effectively use CFdesign upfront in the product development process.

Recognized for its MCAD-driven paradigm and innovative automation techniques to make fluid flow and heat transfer simulation accessible to the masses, CFdesign provides a total product performance picture without the time and expense of building and testing physical prototypes.

The ability to conduct extensive trade-off studies upfront in the process leads to substantial downstream benefits such as increasing quality and innovation while reducing time-to-market, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), and warranty exposure.

“Our global business continues to grow at four times the projected industry average and training is a vital component of the total solution we deliver,” stated Blue Ridge president Ed Williams . “It’s great to to see the enthusiasm in a classroom of engineers as they discover they can do CFD themselves. At the end of day-two they are locked, loaded, and ready to go.”

For every engineer trained in the CFdesign Fundamentals course, Blue Ridge estimates there are at least four more using the software without the benefit of formal training. “It’s gratifying to know CFdesign is simple enough to learn and use without attending a course,” Williams added, “but we see companies that invest in training achieve the greatest productivity and profit gains from the software.”

Kyle Dellinger to Lead Training Program Expansion
To keep pace with near exponential CFdesign sales growth, Blue Ridge today also announced its hiring of Kyle Dellinger to lead the expansion of its training program. Kyle has been involved in all aspects of CAD/CAE training for twenty years, working for such companies as Caterpillar, Comtrex Corporation and Mallett Technologies.

2007 Course Enrollment In Progress
Current and prospective CFdesign engineers will have more opportunities than ever to attend a CFdesign Fundamentals Course in 2007. Find the course that fits your schedule and reserve your seat at http://www.cfdesign.com/Support/Training.aspx.
