Finish Thompson, a designer and manufacturer of chemical process, drum and barrel pumps, used CFdesign upfront CFD software to double the efficiency of a new line of magnetic drive pumps while reducing total product development time by an estimated 33 percent.
Betts had the opportunity to redesign its vents that reside on top of gasoline trailers. The vents help ensure safety by normalizing pressure and vacuums that build up within the tank.
Macrolink uses CFdesign to conduct early-stage flow and thermal analyses on ruggedized electronics enclosures for avionic, mobile and fixed applications. They engineer rugged ATR chassis, COTS chassis, portable rugged workstations and SCSI & Fibre Channel storage systems to meet the most demanding environmental requirements.
Berner uses CFdesign to assist and accelerate the development of air doors that can stop 30 mpg gusts and work in openings up to 30-ft high. The ability to conduct extensive early stage design reviews prior to the construction of a physical prototype gives Berner engineers the ability to efficiently sort through all the ‘what ifs’ until all product quality and innovation objectives are achieved.
Xan3D Technologies Hybrid IC processes can compress what are today's modules, and even systems, down to individual chips. On a new project, preliminary design evaluations done in CFdesign revealed that traditional fin and pin fin heat sink design configurations simply could not keep the maximum case temperature below 80° C. A new revolutionary heat sink design was created using SolidWorks® and CFdesign.
Sechan Electronics was tasked with developing a new digital fire control system for the Paladin self-propelled Howitzer.
