The Blue Ridge Numerics Story

Blue Ridge Numerics, Inc. is the fastest growing CFD company in the world. Since 1992 our CFdesign® software has put comprehensive fluid flow and heat transfer simulation upfront in the product development process where it creates tremendous value for small, medium, and large companies around the world.

Developed on a proprietary technology platform, CFdesign helps companies cut the time and expense associated with physical prototyping and testing by 65% while creating more time and resources for activities related to product innovation.

Blue Ridge Numerics, led by co-founders, Ed Williams and Dr. Rita Schnipke, has broken down the technological barriers that previously prevented the integration of CFD within the mainstream product development process. By integrating complex mathematical techniques into a proprietary formulation tuned for use with the Finite Element method, they developed a robust, general-purpose analytical engine that produces accurate solutions with little human time or experience required.
