Analysis CAE is an important tool for reducing the time-to-market. With powerful analysis tools you can investigate and evaluate your concepts from pure virtual prototypes. You are able of taking hard descisions early in you projects without building expensive prototypes. Reducing cost by eliminating physical prototypes and by taking the right descisions from the very beginning of your development projects are the main arguments for investing i CAE-analysis. Fluid dynamics is an important issue for product design in many areas. The traditional way of dealing with fluid dynamics is using experiments on physical prototypes. Experimental activities need a heavy investment in a testing facility for example a wind tunnel. Added to this comes the cost of building every prototype to be tested. Even with huge investments the output is limited. It’s easy to measure the fluid induced forces on the prototype but collecting information about the entire flow field is very time consuming and require state of the art experimental techniques. Such techniques are rarely used in the industry. With the limiting factor of not knowing the flow field it’s up to guessing what the cause for the measured forces is. The richness of information is probably the largest benefit when using Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD. The aerospace and automotive industries are the early adopters for industrial CFD. With the decreasing cost for compute power CFD nowadays has become affordable for the every company. Using a skilled engineer for CFD-analysis is the most powerful tool in studying fluid dynamics. Early in the product development cycle, when only a 3D-schetch of the product exists, CFD can be used to study the virtual product with no cost for prototyping. Problems can be put on the table to be dealt with from the very beginning. A working process involving CFD in early stages will lead to huge cost savings and a shortened time to market.
