Key Qualification Questions
• Do you need to optimize the design of your products in the early phase of the design process?
• Are you designing products for which internal fluid flow is critical ? We mean: being able to identify pressure drop, mass flow rate, flow velocity magnitude
• Are you designing products for which external fluid flow is critical? We mean: being able to identify drag and lift force, mach number, wake distribution, applied pressure, etc …
• Are you designing products for which temperature distribution is critical in fluid and/or structural parts ?
• Are you looking for coupling your flow and thermal solution with a stress analysis? We mean: taking into account flow results (pressure, temperature) as input data for the structural analysis.
