Fluid-Based Manufacturing Simulation
Computational Fluid Dynamics technology can be used to study a wide variety of manufacturing processes involving newtonian or more typically non-newtonian flows, particularly when the material is exhibiting predominantly ‘fluid’ rather than ‘solid’ behaviour. Metals casting, friction stir welding, extrusion and similar processes can be modelled, as well as associative problems such as the performance of a furnace or other process plant.
Benefits include:
- Increased innovation
- Optimised rather than marginal processes
- Reduced shop trials & development costs
- Improved process design & less reliance on experience
- Higher quality products and less scrap & rework
Backed by Wilde’s expert fluid dynamics consulting team and over 15 years of experience in manufacturing simulation within industry, our ANSYS CFD solutions provide a comprehensive toolkit for a wide variety of material behaviour and operating conditions.
