"I highly recommend FLUENT software and consulting services. We approached Fluent as a startup company with limited capital and many questions regarding the design of an aerodynamic attachment for semi trucks. Fluent appeared to be he most cost effective means of analyzing our design and gaining performance estimates. Compared to wind tunnel or full scale testing, Fluent's CFD option was faster, a fraction of the cost, and way less hassle. We didn't realize the flow analysis made possible by their software and expertise would enable us to identify and solve problems with the design, leading to a highly improved product. At every stage of the project, Fluent consultants went above and beyond expectations to ensure the quality of the tests and our satisfaction. Since the test, the impressive CFD images Fluent provided us with have become the focal point of our marketing efforts, as they clearly illustrate the benefits of aerodynamic design in a colorful way anyone can understand. Thank You Fluent!”

"We have been using the CATIA to GAMBIT interface for only two months and already it has become an integral part of our design process. It is by far the easiest and cleanest way for us to transfer the CAD geometry direct to GAMBIT, and has proved more successful as an interface, than any we have previously used.”

"The numerical simulation of flow and heat transfer processes with FLUENT to determine the hydrodynamic characteristic curves of torque converters, fluid drives, and wet clutches has become an integral part of our development process. The easy-to-use software and outstanding support by Fluent Germany has made it very easy for us to introduce this technology."

"We use FLUENT for the optimization of automobile air conditioning systems. The short response time and quality of results have earned CFD a place for itself in our development process. The continued use of this technology has reduced our development time and costs, and it has also enabled us to produce a technically improved product. We are very satisfied with the support from the Fluent Support Team."

"Performing CFD analysis with FLUENT is a pleasure. The ease of use of this application has enabled us to concentrate on important matters such as modeling and virtual product planning. We have received outstanding support from Fluent Germany."

"Because CFD is faster, less expensive and more accurate than primitive road testing, we now analyze moving-vehicle nozzle performance on every new car for which we produce a nozzle, minimizing the risk of costly redesigning and retooling."

"Engineers at Valeo Engine Cooling, one of many GAMBIT 2.1 beta test sites, were also very impressed with Fluent's robust path from the CATIA V4 model file to automatic meshing. GAMBIT has made great progress in CAD import, cleanup and automatic meshing”

"At Deutz AG, we are successfully using FLUENT to understand and design a wide range of diesel and gas engine components. Additionally, we have tested the moving/deforming mesh feature and, in fact, see its high potential for facilitating swirl layout and bowl design. FLUENT is our code of choice because it includes the comprehensive features we need, is intuitive, robust, and well documented."

"Tesma has used FLUENT to help predict performance on every water pump project. We also use CFD to optimize impeller and volute shape, including, where necessary, to balance flow to both banks of V engines, thus reducing testing validation time. Typically, flow modeling analysis predicts to within less than 10% of the actual test result."

"We routinely use FLUENT for pressure drop predictions on both intake and exhaust systems for off road vehicles. Results have generally correlated to within 4%. This, along with flow field visualization, has allowed us to have a high level of confidence in our designs before prototyping and cut significant time (10%) from the design process."

"Speed is a concern of ours every step of the way. That includes learning to use new software. I was extremely pleased with the ease and speed that I was able to effectively use FLUENT software. I can now analyze powertrain components such as manifold or intake ports from CAD to solution in just one day. The accuracy and robustness of FLUENT, coupled with unlimited technical support from their Ann Arbor-based automotive team, were critical to the quick implementation of CFD, which is new to our industry."

"CFD fits into our concurrent engineering strategy right back at the conceptual design stage and provides us with a powerful tool to improve our cars. Very quickly we found we could look at ten wing configurations rather than one."

"As the world's most used CFD method, it clearly has better funding and development than any other package on the market. With such an extensive user base, the program is probably the best tested on the market as well and practically guarantees robustness for even the most difficult flow regimes."

"FLUENT CFD analysis has helped Visteon engineers make substantial performance improvements in vehicle HVAC systems while reducing design lead time by an average of 75%. Using CFD, we can identify and solve nearly all problems before the first prototype is built."
