Partnership Enhances Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer Analyses

By Design World Staff | December 6, 2007

Blue Ridge Numerics has joined in partnership with SpaceClaim Corp., to offer CFdesign for SpaceClaim Professional 2007. The joint product empowers you to conduct design-driven flow and thermal trade-off studies without needing to be CAD operators.

“Fluid flow and heat transfer are major considerations in the product development process,” stated Blue Ridge president Ed Williams. “While many engineers are quite comfortable addressing flow and thermal issues as part of the CAD operation, others view the creation and modification of 3D models as a barrier to using CFD upfront in the design process. We are optimistic our product will enhance intuitive 3D modeling and CFD for better decision-making and collaboration.”

CFdesign for SpaceClaim Professional enhances team collaboration and design re-use, models can be built or imported into SpaceClaim, optimized with CFdesign, then shared with designers working in Autodesk Inventor, CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER, SolidWorks, and UGS NX.

“To date,’’ said Mike Payne, CEO of SpaceClaim Corp., “the design process has required engineers to maintain proficiency across multiple applications or rely heavily on the CAD operator for help.  SpaceClaim and CFdesign free the engineer and the CAD operator to be more efficient in their work.”
