CFD software gets to grips with 3D motion
CFdesign v7.0 includes an industry-first solid motion module ideally suited for use by mechanical engineers during the conceptual and detailed design stages of the product development process.
The ability to conduct extensive tradeoff studies upfront in the design process leads to substantial downstream benefits including increased quality and innovation while reducing time to market, cost of goods sold and warranty exposure.
Changes made to geometry within Inventor 2008 are automatically reflected in CFdesign without any translation or conversion process, eliminating the time-consuming and confusing process of creating and managing multiple geometry models during a project lifecycle.
With CFdesign there is only ever one product model, which is updated and managed within the Inventor 2008 environment.
"Inventor 2008 makes it easier than ever for customers to add the power of 3D design to existing 2D design processes", says Blue Ridge president Ed Williams.
"CFdesign is an extremely valuable digital prototyping platform for companies planning to use Inventor 2008 to design machinery, electronics enclosures, pumps, valves and any kind of flow control device".
