Dassault Systèmes enhanced computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation on its 3DExperience platform by signing a definitive share purchase agreement to acquire the Madrid-based Next Limit Dynamics. The company is specialized in highly dynamic fluid flow simulation used in aerospace and defense, transportation and mobility, high-tech, energy and other industries.
The XFlow Technology developed by Next Limit Dynamics allows robust and accurate CFD simulation to predict and enhance the performance of complex designs when exposed to fluid flow such as aerodynamic flow past an automobile, aerodynamic noise from aircraft landing gear and lubrication of complex drive trains. The forward-looking CFD method of the XFlow simulation technology, now an integrated part of Dassault Systèmes offering, can help lower automobile’s fuel consumptions and emissions, reduce environmental noise of aircraft and for example increase the efficiency of wind turbines for power generation.
