The classic valve design process requires costly fabrication, time, and physical testing to determine the viability of a design change. Also, physical testing typically does not provide sufficient insight as to what exactly may be impeding performance. Design engineers employing CFdesign are able to solve challenges like chatter, motor loads, Cv goals, and spring selections, in a much more economical virtual testing environment, resulting in shortened design cycles, lower costs, and establishing a competitive advantage.

The classic pump design process requires costly manufacturing, assembly, and physical testing to determine the viability of a design change or to generate a pump curve. Also, physical testing typically does not provide sufficient insight as to what exactly may be impeding performance. Design engineers employing CFdesign to optimize pump performance have discovered a much more economical virtual testing environment, providing immediate and detailed insight of flow performance, resulting in shortened design cycles, lower costs, and establishing a competitive advantage.
