CFD is changing

Dennis Nagy, CD-adapco

In my short time so far with CD-adapco, I've visited many of our industrial partners to discuss the future direction of our CFD products. Their message is clear, they want easier to use products that are more accessible to the non-CFD specialists that play the most influential role in the design process.

This isn't news to us. We have recently introduced a whole range of products that already offer the most outstanding ease-of- use on the market today. Products such as STAR-CCM+, STAR-Design and the STAR-CAD Series are redefining the way that CFD is being used in industry. We confidently claim that these products offer the simplest front door or gateway into the world's most powerful suite of CFD products.
However, as a company, we have no intention of resting on our laurels. Moves are afoot to improve and refine our customers whole CFD processes from top to bottom. The earliest sign of that is our new surface wrapping functionality, which automatically cleans and de-features dirty or complex CAD geometry with minimal user interaction.

Our strategic focus remains the same. CD-adapco's reputation has always been for tackling the toughest and most business critical industry problems in flow simulation. This is a leadership position that we are proud of and intend to continue to enhance. We are the only CFD vendor to offer Full Insight, Full Spectrum CFD, able to tackle the full range of CFD problems with a single consistent set of highly-usable tools, integrated into our customers’ CAE processes and workflows.
