CFD-simulation and torque calculation
CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) or Fluid Mechanics is flow simulation of fluid and gases combined thermal calculations. Primarily, we use ANSYS CFX for CFD calculation.
We perform simulations for determining air resistance, laminar and turbulent flow profiles, flow rates, pressure losses and load reactions, which can then be used as boundary conditions for mechanical Finite Element calculations. CFD is also used for mixing and separation processes and for thermal heat transfer. Flow simulation and thermal simulation can be combined e.g. by optimizing heat exchangers etc.
One of the main benefits of using CFD simulation is that you get big savings on test setup, prototypes, and laboratory tests.
Practical examples
Examples of areas, where we can use CFD in the development process:
- Heat exchangers
- Ventilation
- Heat pumps
- Determination of CV-value
- Cooling
- Valves
- Nozzles
- Pumps
- Agitators
- Mixers
- Separators

Calaject tester
Cost-effective quality check of instrumentsIt does not always make sense to manufacture an expensive product in industrial quality. Processes can be automated with inexpensive special machines, which is the case for the Calaject tester that Tech Invent has developed...
Deboxing machine
The deboxing machine opens cardboard boxes, unpacks their contents, and presents them for repackaging. The box is opened by cutting off and removing the lid. Typically, there is an instruction manual inside the box, which the machine also disposes of along with the...
Thermal simulation
Thermal simulation is utilized in the determination of temperature distribution, thermal conduction/flow. This is relevant for e.g. electronical devices and circuits, steel structures, heat exchangers, heat pumps as well as gases and fluids. We primarily use ANSYS for...
