Upfront CFD enables non-specialized engineers to quickly make selections based on hundreds of design options. As the best design directions emerge, engineers can include additional detail and move towards a more rigorous, quantitative simulation phase akin to traditional CFD. The real business benefit of upfront CFD, however, lies in the early phase, a fact that is sometimes not fully understood. Jeff Waters of SpaceClaim and Ruben Bons Sr. of Blue Ridge Numerics explain in part 1 of a two-part series.

Maximizing your investment, 2 of 2
In part 2 of a two-part series, Jeff Waters of SpaceClaim and Ruben Bons Sr. of Blue Ridge Numerics discuss how to maximize an upfront CFD investment.
Once an upfront CFD tool is in place, the team has been appropriately trained, it is a part of the official engineering process, and everyone is focused on design direction, it is time to start using the tool to maximum benefit. Here are some tips to get the most from an upfront CFD investment:
