Design & Simulation Software Guide 2025
In this Special Issue, Digital Engineering presents its second annual guide to design and simulation software vendors.
The newly released "Best Practice Guidelines on CAD for Simulation" from CD-adapco (London and New York) directs users on how to optimize their flow and thermal simulation with CAD.
The CAE provider offers CAD-embedded flow and thermal solutions for four major CAD packages -- SolidWorks, CATIA V5, Pro/Engineer, and NX -- in their STAR-CAD Series. "Best Practice Guidelines" uses the STAR-CAD Series to demonstrate hints and tips, but they are applicable to any simulation process.
STAR-CAD Series Product Manager, Jean-Claude Ercolanelli, said, "A few simple guidelines on how best to use the CAD tool to focus the simulation on important features can make a significant impact on model turnaround time and productivity."
