Customer stories
Opto 22: Connecting the world
Opto 22 used Autodesk CFD to design a new product, Groov. By implementing 3D digital prototyping and up-front simulation, the company was able to eliminate the need for fans, and provide a significantly smaller and more reliable product.
Norgren: Cutting production time
Norgren developed the Diverter Valve, part of its Waste Heat Recovery system for truck engines. The design team cut production time by 6 months and saved thousands of British pounds using Autodesk CFD and Inventor.
Sudlows: Data center energy efficiency
Using Autodesk CFD software, Sudlows ran multiple conditions and failure scenarios simultaneously in the cloud and employed flexibility in pre-processing physical models and data export.
