Custom CFD Software Development and OpenFOAM Consulting

Build production CFD workflows and multi-physics simulation tools on top of OpenFOAM and Python β€” enabling virtual prototyping and repeatable, decision-ready fluid analysis pipelines. Move beyond one-off runs to automated case management for parametric studies, design optimization, and engineering reporting.

Expected Outcomes

  • Repeatable CFD workflows replacing manual case setup and expert-only post-processing
  • Faster parametric studies through automated multi-physics simulation pipelines
  • Virtual prototyping to validate fluid, thermal, or aero design changes before physical testing
  • Cost reduction versus commercial CFD platform licensing, at full solver-level flexibility

What's in Scope

  • OpenFOAM-based CFD workflow automation, case management, and parametric geometry variation
  • Multi-physics simulation coupling CFD with thermal, structural, or chemical domains
  • Custom Python post-processing and results visualization for decision-ready outputs
  • Web interfaces for CFD result exploration, virtual prototyping, and engineering reporting

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this service area and how we approach it.

What is computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software development?

CFD software development goes beyond running simulations β€” it builds the workflow automation, case management, post-processing, and reporting layers that turn CFD into a repeatable engineering tool. This enables parametric studies, virtual prototyping, and integration of CFD outputs into broader decision processes.

Why use OpenFOAM instead of Ansys Fluent or STAR-CCM+?

OpenFOAM is open source with no per-seat or per-solve licensing costs, and it is fully customizable at the solver level. For teams running many parametric cases, doing multi-physics simulation, or deploying CFD inside custom software, it provides flexibility and cost control that commercial platforms don't.

Can you build a web interface around our CFD workflows?

Yes. We build web applications that expose CFD simulation inputs, run OpenFOAM on the back end, and visualize results β€” making virtual prototyping and fluid analysis accessible to non-expert users in your organization.

Do you handle meshing and solver setup?

Yes. We cover the full workflow from geometry preparation and meshing through solver configuration, execution, and post-processing automation.
