What is CFD Analysis? A Beginner’s Guide to Computational Fluid Dynamics

What is CFD Analysis illustration showing computational fluid dynamics simulation on a car, turbine engine, electronics cooling system, and industrial pipe flow

If you’ve ever watched smoke curl off a candle and wondered how engineers predict the same behaviour inside a jet engine – that’s essentially what CFD does. Not magic, not guesswork. Math, run on computers, at a scale that physical testing alone could never match.   What is CFD Analysis? CFD analysis, or Computational Fluid … Read more

FEA or CFD? Here’s How Hexagon Helps You Choose the Right Simulation Tool

FEA or CFD? Make the Right Call with Hexagon

Introduction Engineers today face more pressure than ever to design better products in less time. To do that, they need the right tools. Two popular methods used to test designs before they are built are FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). Both are powerful, but they are used for different things. If … Read more
