We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Computational Fluid Dynamics",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Data model cuts development costs from
ProSTEP iViP Association, which we summarised at the time by saying "The ProStep iViP Recommendation PSI 4 provides a proven data model that ensures optimal integration of simulation and computation data in a PDM environment".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release F1 initiative makes CAD-embedded CFD attractive from
Flomerics: "Restrictions on the use of computational fluid dynamics analysis software by Formula One teams might actually increase the use of more efficient CFD tools".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Flomerics
- take a look at 20 years of computational fluid dynamics
which says: "Flomerics has reached an age that puts it among the oldest companies involved in computer aided engineering".
Take a look also at the news release from Flomerics, CFD software supports latest Wildfire release,
as well as Fluid dynamics software aids extractor hood design from Flomerics,
and FEA software extends to new fields from Abaqus.
