Aerospace & Defense

CFdesign allows you to reliably simulate and optimize the design, placement, and performance of critical components and systems like hydraulics, pneumatics, valves, blowers, fans, pumps, compressors, heatsinks, heat exchangers, cooling fans, power supplies, manifolds, HVAC components, motors, turbomachinery, even entire electronics systems all while on the “digital drawing board”.

CFdesign Solves Tough Problems

• Determining lift and drag forces and coefficients
• Understanding high speed external aerodynamics (high Mach number flows)
• Investigating high-altitude flow conditions and their effect on aircraft electronics
• Optimizing nozzle design for maximum thrust
• Optimizing under-wing racks and payload designs
• ECS, fire suppression, and piccolo tube de-icing systems
• Study air quality and circulation in a cabin environment

Customer Briefs

	Sechan Electronics was tasked with developing a new digital fire control system for the Paladin self-propelled Howitzer. Soldiers count on the reliability of this unit and Sechan backed it with a protracted warranty, so the engineering team used Pro/ENGINEER® and CFdesign to insure maximum reliability and performance.
