Blue Ridge Numerics Launches CFdesign V9 for CATIA V5 R17
Blue Ridge Numerics announced the availability of CFdesign V9 for CATIA V5 R17.
As an integrated and fully associative extension of CATIA V5 R17, CFdesign is an interactive 3D flow bench and thermal test rig providing engineers with the total product performance picture without the time and expense of building and testing physical prototypes. The ability to conduct extensive trade-off studies upfront in the process leads to substantial downstream benefits including increased quality and innovation while reducing time-to-market, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), and warranty exposure.
Geometry changes made within CATIA V5 R17 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 always only one product model, and it is updated and managed within the V5 environment.
"The current release of CATIA V5 expands the reach of 3D design and digital prototyping," stated Blue Ridge president Ed Williams. "CFdesign extends the capabilities of this platform for companies designing machinery, electronics enclosures, pumps, valves, or any kind of flow control device."
