Flow Analysis & Heat Transfer
Solving flow and thermal challenges to drive your product development forward.
AeroFEM offers Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analyses across a wide range of applications. Especially in early design stages, CFD enables the efficient determination of critical flow parameters without building prototypes. Simulations provide detailed insights, even where physical measurements are difficult to obtain.
CFD is equally effective for identifying improvement potential in existing products and for conducting full design studies using optimization algorithms.
From aerodynamics and hydrodynamics to thermodynamics and process engineering, we support you across the full CFD spectrum.
