You need to know if your design holds up — not which turbulence model fits. You can run the calculation on your own design and get the answer within a few days — instead of finding out when the prototype is on the bench.

OUR EXPERIENCE
We have helped Nordic development departments get started with CFD for years, and the patterns repeat. These are the three that matter most to anyone who hasn't worked with simulation before.
The run itself takes hours. It is the choices made beforehand — model, boundary conditions, what can be omitted — that cost time. That is why we spend time on those together with you.
Geometry that cannot be meshed. A boundary condition that does not fit the question. A model that is too heavy for what needs to be answered. None of these are difficult to fix once you have seen them before.
The tool is not what is difficult. It is getting started. Once the routine is established, only new types of tasks require a call.
How to get started
We advise on the specific geometry types and questions you actually work with, ensuring the setup fits them from the start. If you already have a setup, we build on it rather than creating a new one.
You learn on your own design rather than on a generic training example. It is faster, and what you learn can be applied the very next day.
And it will happen. Convergence and model selection are precisely what experience is used for — even when you run the calculation yourself.
TOOLS
Meshes geometry directly as it comes from CAD. Gaps and overlaps require no prior cleanup, which is usually the step that halts anyone who doesn't generate meshes every day.
Flow and thermal analysis in the same calculation. For enclosures, cooling, and external flow — the questions that most often arise when a design needs to perform in reality.

FAQ
The setup is what takes time, and we can do that together with you. The actual calculation for a defined task typically runs overnight or faster. What you need to set aside is a few hours to learn the setup — not weeks.
You don't do that alone, nor should you. A result that looks plausible can still be wrong — and that is worse than having no result at all. That is why we review the first calculations together with you until you can see for yourself when something looks off.
