Integrated 3D Design & Analysis for Drilling, Pumping, Piping, and Storage Systems
Autodesk Inventor accelerates the creation of 3D digital prototypes while CFdesign turns an MCAD workstation into a 3D flow bench. The integrated solution empowers engineers to build higher quality, more reliable drilling, pumping, piping, and storage systems.
In this digital design analysis environment, engineers are given a window into system performance that cannot be achieved with traditional physical prototypes and field tests.
Upfront Solutions for Pressure Drop, Sludge Removal, Bit Life, Pump Efficiency & More
CFdesign for Autodesk Inventor supplies the tools to proactively address common challenges such as pressure drop, debris/ sludge removal, bit life, pump life and efficiency, filtration, erosion, and cavitation.

This image shows flow simulation on a Tricone bit commonly used in downhole drilling applications. CFdesign can even include the effects of rock, sludge, and other debris. Design engineers use this information to ensure drilled material is effectively washed away from the cutting surface, improving drill performance and extending bit life. |

Finding these costly problems and fixing them upfront in the design process is driving big reductions in field failures and system down-time for companies around the world.
Less Testing, Less Expense, Less Time
At the heart of the CFdesign and Autodesk Inventor value proposition is the ability to reduce physical prototyping and testing. On average our customers report they spend 70% less time and 65% less budget on the validation of new products and systems. In most cases only a single physical prototype is necessary before entering production.
OTC 2008 is the place to get the facts on CFdesign and Autodesk Inventor. CFdesign engineers will be available to discuss your specific requirements and to provide personal demonstrations of the CFdesign and Autodesk Inventor solution.

CFdesign analyses show engineers the areas of this cutting bit that will be subjected to erosion caused by extreme flow conditions. With this knowledge, design changes are made in Autodesk Inventor and tested in CFdesign until the erosion effects are mitigated. |
