Creaform to Enhance 3D Engineering Services Portfolio with CFD Services

The high tech company now covers every step of the product development process

Lvis, August 30, 2012 Creaform, leader in 3D portable measurement technologies and 3D engineering services, is celebrating its 10th anniversary by extending its 3D engineering services portfolio with the addition of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis to its expertise in structural simulation (FEA), for a complete numerical simulation offer.

Numerical simulation helps companies identify efficient and reliable solutions to structural, dynamic, thermal or fluid dynamics issues. Having concepts and 3D models undergo CFD analysis contributes to reduce the cost and length of development cycles, while improving the quality and reliability of products. Plus, it makes it possible to detect and correct issues before they arise, better understand complex thermofluid systems or validate operation concepts or conditions, for instance.

Creaform also offers comprehensive thermofluid systems simulations:

Liquids, gas, flow mixing and multiphases

Turbulence modeling: RANS, RSM, LES, DES

Moving bodies and FSI analysis

Heat transfer and thermal modelling

Simulations from CAD or 3D scan files
