In today’s tough economic climate, all investment into technology must meet strict return on investment (ROI) criteria. Companies are no longer just dealing with delivering better quality products - they have to do it faster and more efficiently in order to compete effectively. Aberdeen Group, a leading PLM industry consulting and research organization, recently conducted an in-depth study of how large and small manufacturers facing market pressures are embracing upfront concurrent design and analysis methodologies to achieve timely ROI. According to their research published in The ROI of Concurrent Design with CFD, using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation tools upfront during the design stage can help manufacturers meet quality targets at design release, achieve product revenue targets, meet product launch dates and product cost targets.

For years, CFD analysis has been the reserve of highly skilled specialists. With today’s ever increasing pressure to get products to market faster, this option is no longer the only alternative. Concurrent CFD solutions enable design engineers to take advantage of the benefits of CFD during the design stage. Because CFD is fully embedded into CAD, design engineers can now quickly and easily simulate their designs within their preferred CAD environment. They can perform design variation “what-ifs”, optimize their product design models and reduce re-spins.
