Case Study: Norgren Accelerates, Economizes Pneumatic Valve Development

From CFdesign® Upfront CFD Software
 

 
Norgren was challenged to develop a pneumatic valve system with innovative design features in order to distinguish it from similar type products already in the market. Design engineers needed to create a product with maximum flow within the smallest possible space at the lowest possible cost.

Products & Services
Mechanical computer aided-design software (MCAD) is used by machine designers and mechanical engineers to design and develop mechanical systems. MCAD software is also used in some architectural and construction applications. Learn more about Mechanical Computer Aided-Design Software (MCAD)
Computational fluid dynamics software (CFD) is used for the calculation of flow parameters in fluids, and for the design and simulation of the behavior of fluidic systems. CFD is also used to simulate fluid mechanics. Learn more about Computational Fluid Dynamics Software (CFD)
