CFturbo Software & Engineering
The Turbomachinery Design Company
CFturbo® Software & Engineering GmbH is an engineering company offering CAE services and software development focusing on fluid dynamics/turbomachinery.
Our range of consultancy covers the whole turbomachinery development process - from consulting service, conceptual design and simulation up to construction, prototyping and measurement.
Design | Simulation | Prototype |
1 Our services spectrum includes the layout, design, simulation – in particular CFD (flow simulation) and FEM (strength calculations) – and optimisation, prototyping and design of pumps, fans, ventilators, compressors, turbines and turbo chargers. Our strength lies in our ability to combine modern design and simulation methods, thus permitting the swift, cost-efficient configuration and assessment of new designs, as well as targeted optimisation of component geometry. more...
2 We develop software for a wide range of applications in the design of fluid-related components, and in particular for the design of turbomachinery. Our core product and technology flagship is our successful turbomachinery design software "CFturbo®", which is used all over the world, its benefits include high-level operating comfort and excellent value for money. more...
3 The company’s third business sector comprises the development of customised software solutions. Our services in this field are focused on the technically demanding sectors of machine and vehicle construction. Applications range e.g. from the programming of special layout and design methods, the development of empirical calculation procedures, measured data capture and evaluation to the automation of MCAE process sequences. more...
