CFdesign for CATIA

It seems every CFD tool on the market today is making the claim that they are integrated with your CAD system. Others try to pitch superiority based on embedding their CFD programs inside the CAD environment. Beyond simply making another claim, we want to provide you with an understanding of how CATIA and CFdesign integrate together to provide design engineers with a proven CAD-Driven simulation tool for conducting multi-scenario design studies.

CFdesign became a certified CATIA software partner in 2004. Based on market demand, we pioneered functionality to allow CATIA models to be read directly into CFdesign, as we do with all major CAD tools. Today our CATIA customers can instantly begin a fluid flow or heat transfer design study without having to export or overly simplify their geometry, making the process seamless. The proof that we have a solution that will work for you is evident by the companies using CFdesign for CATIA and seeing the process firsthand.

“If someone comes to me for advice on a problem, I ask them, why would you do three pages of hand calculations, when I can get you good results in a few hours? For me, CFdesign is as second nature as a calculator."
