Blue Ridge Numerics Launches CFdesign V9 for CATIA V5 R17

By DE Editors

Geometry changes made within CATIA V5 R17 are automatically reflected in Blue Ridge Numerics’ (Charlottesville, VA) CFdesign V9 without any translation or conversion process.

As an integrated and fully associative extension of CATIA V5 R17, CFdesign is an interactive 3D flow bench and thermal test rig providing engineers with the total product performance picture without the time and expense of building and testing physical prototypes.

It empowers design engineers with integrated fluid flow and heat transfer analysis tools to conduct trade-off studies during early design phase of product development, leading to substantial downstream benefits.

Developed specifically for multi-tasking mechanical and thermal design engineers, CFdesign upfront CFD software integrates comprehensive fluid flow and heat transfer simulation into the conceptual and detailed design phases of the product development process.
