What They Didn’t Teach You in Engineering School About 3D Pressure Drop Analysis

June 29, 2016
Sponsored by Mentor Graphics
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is no longer a discipline reserved only for highly trained practitioners. A new class of CFD analysis software known as “Concurrent CFD” is proving to be greatly effective at performing pressure drop analysis, enabling mechanical engineers to accelerate key decisions at their workstations, without the need for CFD specialists. Embedded into the MCAD environment, this intuitive process allows designers to optimize a product during the design stages, reducing manufacturing costs across a wide range of mechanical designs and systems.
