Range of Consulting Services
Complete Engineering Analysis
Working with you, our consultants can plan, manage, and execute a complete engineering project for you, ensuring that you get practical solutions within your schedule and budget. We complement your in-house programs with application-specific flow modeling expertise.
Custom CFD Methodologies
Use our consultants' expertise to help define the best CFD methodology for your design process, and you will save time and money every time future analyses are conducted. We work with you to determine an optimal modeling strategy or create templates that automate model building, and train your CFD analysts to apply these methods. In this way, you can achieve maximum value for your company's CFD investment.
- Example: Custom Templates for Virtual Prototyping
- Example: Mobil Improves Heat Exchanger Efficiency
- Example: Parameterized Model Building for Design Optimization
Mesh Generation
We provide mesh generation services to our users who do not have the time or resources to create their own computational mesh. Many of our users find that having the mesh created by Fluent's consulting group and performing their own calculations offers the best of both worlds: reduced turnaround time while maintaining full control over the end product.
Customized Software Development
We can take a great general purpose software product and and customize it into a highly specialized and focused tool, uniquely suited to your needs. Our consultants have unparalleled knowledge in physical and numerical modeling, model validation, and customized reporting or analysis of results. Proprietary CFD software can give you tremendous competitive advantage.
- Example: Solving Instability in Lean Premixed Combustion
- Example: New Tools for Simulation of Complex Phenomena
Consulting Partnership
Many of our blue chip customers have consultancy partnership agreements with us. This gives them flexibility in resource and financial management. It also allows a relationship to grow whereby we learn the methods and needs of the customer, leading to a better understanding of long term problems and improve efficiency in providing solutions.
