Testimonials

“We are consistently getting CFdesign flow results accurate to within 10% of our test data for medium size and smaller axial fans. When it comes to analysis of diffusers and ducts, CFdesign is very accurate, closely matching published information.”

“We assessed four CFD packages on three primary criteria: cost of ownership, ease of use, and overall accuracy. After scoring highest on all three, we chose CFdesign.” See how Norgren maximized their pneumatic valve performance while reducing product cost.

“We thought it might be tough to use 3D CAD assemblies with this much complexity in a simulation environment but CFdesign handled it all automatically.”

“CFdesign has become part of the way we think when designing new products”

“Using CFdesign, we had a complete workable thermal solution for a Digital Data Storage device prior to building a prototype.”

"“We went from CAD model to casting supplier in 4 weeks. With CFdesign we evaluated 28 design variations, delivered a high-performance product to our customer and saved at least $12,000 in prototyping expense.”

“Since CFdesign is so easy and quick to use -- you can do several iterations within a day – you gain valuable knowledge about product performance quickly.”

“With CFdesign we screen new dimple designs and get a good feeling for whether they have merit while they are still on the digital drawing board.”

“From where we started as our best guess to where we finished was a big difference. CFdesign has returned our investment a hundred times.”

"Out of the box we were able to do a number of 'what if' scenarios, improving and optimizing a conventional design, boosting its flow coefficient by 50% using CFdesign." Read how automatic meshing helped to quickly optimize globe valve peformance

"Upfront in the design process CFdesign allowed us to make architecture decisions based on air flow and performance for different chassis sizes. In the end, we improved overall system performance while keeping the mechanical development ahead of schedule and under budget.”

"I am extremely pleased with how quickly I can set up an Autodesk Inventor model for analysis and watch its progress. CFdesign lends itself very well to performing 'what-if' analyses."

“CFdesign allowed us to save $50,000 in tooling costs and cut 6-9 months off the development cycle by cutting out prototypes during the design of a new line of backflow prevention devices.”

"Bench tests simply cannot supply the depth of information and insight available in CFdesign. This is a very exciting product development tool!”

“CFdesign really operates like an extension of Pro/E and that is the biggest benefit to me.”

“Our first project consisted of some very complex thermal designs and the support we received from Blue Ridge Numerics was nothing less than spectacular. We are glad we chose CFdesign.”

“I don’t understand how a company in today’s economic climate can profitably bring new products to market without CFdesign.”

“The run times and the physics that CFdesign provides is really impressive.”

“In less than 10 weeks I analyzed 100 wind turbine designs and increased hydraulic torque by 146%.”

“CFdesign lead us directly to a critical design problem, allowing us to make one tooling change. We would never have found the flow problem with testing… it was impossible to detect in a flow lab.”
