Automotive
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
- Compare drag and lift of different designs and conditions to understand external aerodynamics and noise control
- Optimize internal HVAC system duct orientation and air dispersion to determine best design for passenger comfort
- Increase engine compartment air flow for powertrain cooling through radiator shroud and fan blade design studies
- Balance flow distribution through Intake and exhaust manifolds for maximum engine performance

Four Reasons Why CFdesign Will Work For You
1. CFdesign fits you
It’s a tool – use it when you need it. When you’re done, put it back in your toolbox. When you come back to it for the next project you’ll still remember how to use it.
2. CFdesign fits your process
If you use a CAD-centric process to design and engineer new products, then CFdesign will fit your existing process. No need to hire new personnel, change the job duties of current staff, buy new computers, or otherwise change the way you are doing business today.
3. CFdesign reduces your department-level expenses
Our customers report an average reduction of project expenses by 65% while reducing project schedules by 70%. The “payback” for CFdesign is usually achieved on the first project.
4. CFdesign opens doors to innovation
Building and testing a physical prototype is an essential part of the validation process but it is a poor method for achieving design optimization. It takes more than a few data points from a flow bench or transducers to point the way to innovative design. CFdesign shows you all the aspects of product performance you have been missing.
