CFDtas

CFDtas is a proprietary software package developed by SimScale GmbH. It is a cloud-based simulation platform that allows users to perform Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations. The platform is designed for engineers and designers across various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and architecture, to analyze and optimize product performance.

The core functionality of CFDtas lies in its accessibility. By being cloud-based, it eliminates the need for users to install and maintain expensive high-performance computing hardware. Users can upload their CAD models, set up simulation parameters, and run analyses directly through a web browser. This approach democratizes access to advanced simulation capabilities, making them available to a wider range of users and smaller companies.

CFDtas offers a range of simulation types, focusing primarily on fluid flow and thermal analysis. This includes steady-state and transient simulations, turbulent and laminar flow, and conjugate heat transfer. The software utilizes advanced numerical solvers to predict phenomena such as pressure drop, flow distribution, heat transfer rates, and aerodynamic forces. Post-processing tools are also integrated, allowing users to visualize results through plots, streamlines, and animations to gain insights into their designs. The platform aims to streamline the engineering design process by enabling rapid iteration and validation of concepts.
