The Fastest Way from Pro/ENGINEER to Flow & Thermal Solutions

CFdesign® software turns your Pro/ENGINEER workstation into a fully interactive flow bench, thermal test rig, and wind tunnel. Your 3D assemblies become associative, zero-cost prototypes revealing critical engineering information not available from physical tests. Make a design change in Pro/ENGINEER and see the change immediately in CFdesign. Go from Pro/ENGINEER to first pass results in minutes; review high fidelity solutions up to 20x faster with the new Accelerant™ Solver.

Build an assembly in Pro/ENGINEER and open it in CFdesign using controls within the Pro/ENGINEER interface. The flow volume is automatically generated for you.

CFdesign automatically assigns volumetric boundary conditions and material properties then intelligently assigns optimal mesh sizes on the model and flow volume. All that remains is selecting flow and heat transfer analysis options.

Press “GO.” CFdesign automatically generates the optimal mesh and provides interactive access to first-pass simulation results within minutes.

Conduct a 3D design review using CFdesign’s powerful visualization tools and 3D publishing capabilities. Return to Pro/ENGINEER to implement design changes and begin a second associative simulation for comparison.

CFdesign Solves Tough Problems

CFdesign allows you to analyze and optimize the design, placement, and performance of critical components and systems like hydraulics, pneumatics, valves, blowers, fans, pumps, compressors, heatsinks, heat exchangers, cooling fans, power supplies, manifolds, HVAC components, motors, turbomachinery, even entire electronics systems all while on the “digital drawing board”.

CFdesign reliably simulates a broad range of fluid flow and heat transfer scenarios. Highly automated functionality and built-in intelligence guide the user, making CFdesign an ideal desktop tool for beginners and advanced users.
