WHY HIRE CFD SERVICE?

Test your project under extreme conditions without a physical prototype.

Unveil the problems of intuition.

Modify a virtual prototype (faster and cheaper than a real prototype).

Get to the best configuration faster.

AVOID THE COSTS OF INEFFICIENCY IN THE DESIGN PROCESS AND DURING OPERATION.

.

Ensuring…

  • Lower energy consumption (cost reduction);
  • Compliance with isolation restrictions;
  • Compliance with dimensional restrictions;
  • Compliance with total power consumption restrictions;
  • Compliance with thermal requirements;
  • Lower risk of equipment failure and greater lifetime;
  • Increased thermal reliability.

WHY HIRE CFD SERVICE?

  • For isolated projects;
  • For significantly complex problems;
  • When the in-house engineering team doesn’t have the time to learn CFD concepts and software handling, opposed to the in-depth knowledge of the engineering consultant, which is able to intuitively assess the accuracy of simulation results, spot potential errors and deliver reliable diagnostics.
  • A fresh look at the design can lead to new insights unexpected by the in-house engineering team;
  • Take your product design and validation process to the next level.
