CFdesign for NX

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 NX and CFdesign integrate together to provide design engineers with a proven CAD-Driven simulation tool for conducting multi-scenario design studies.

Based on market demand, we pioneered functionality to allow NX models to be read directly into CFdesign, as we do with all major CAD tools. Today our NX 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 NX and seeing the process firsthand.

“CFdesign has really saved a great deal of time and money over the past year especially in the amount of cold flow testing we have been able to avoid - on the order of $17,000 in testing - and shorten our development cycle by approximately 15%."

“When an engine is being designed, various elements must be considered and that usually ends up in the need for trade offs. Analyzing the design with CFdesign and visualizing the degree to which performance will be affected by each trade off is strong support for the designer who also serves as coordinator for the project.”
