Industry applications

CFD solutions tailored for key industries.

Marine

Minimizing operating costs and lowering emissions while ensuring safe power margins are some of the main challenges in the marine industry. Our CFD tool suite offers dedicated, virtual naval architecture and marine design tools for unparalleled free surface modeling and scalable, highly automated optimization processes.

Solve and optimize propulsion, resistance, seakeeping, wind studies, and maneuvering in your designs through our dedicated workflows and team in place.

Automotive

Finding the right balance between comfort and performance is a key essential in designing vehicles.

Fidelity CFD provides specialized solutions to address challenges like external aerodynamics, thermal management, acoustic noise modeling, and more. Real behavioral modeling of vehicles brings awareness of more opportunity for system optimization. There is near-infinite potential to fine-tune vehicles for any number of parameters

Aerospace

Whether you're focused on traditional aerodynamics and propulsion studies or pushing the boundaries with future designs like supersonic travel, fluid-structure interaction, hypersonics, UAVs, or thermal protection systems, you need CFD simulation software that can handle everyday challenges and adapt as your designs evolve.

Turbomachinery

Complex geometries, demanding flow environments, and multiple design iterations are making the analysis of industrial and turbomachinery equipment—like compressors, pumps, turbines, and mixers—more computationally challenging. As a result, engineers are increasingly turning to CFD simulations to streamline the design process for these machines.

Biomedical

The Fidelity CFD platform offers solutions tailored to the health, biomedical, and pharmaceutical fields, each with its own specific CFD simulation needs. The industry faces challenges like micro-scale geometries, unique flow conditions, and the inability to standardize due to each patient's unique body makeup, whether it's for modeling organic systems or designing assistive devices.

Key benefits

At Nordcad you're in great company

Here's what our customers has to say about us.

Experiencing a large growth, we were more and more exposed to the risk of mixing up BOM’s for all our parts and variants. We realised that Excel could no longer give us the level of confidence that we needed, and searched the market for a solution. Highstage has proven great in getting a strong grip on our BOM’s and revision control.

Uneeg uses Highstage across their development projects. Documents are electronically signed by reviewers and approvers, according to FDA CFR Part 11 requirements. Nita Volder Hansen – Process Engineer at Uneeg – is a big fan of references, and for a good reason – references in Highstage are used to manage which revision is correct and valid. Using the Reference Lock functionality, a revision can be locked to the DHF even if newer versions exist.
