We recently spoke with John Chawner, Senior Group Leader at Cadence about the company’s entry into computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technologies after many years of being known for its expertise in electronic design automation (EDA).
Cadence has long been a leader in electronic systems design, building upon more than 30 years of computational software expertise. The company applies its underlying Intelligent System Design strategy for creating innovative software, hardware, and IP solutions.
In turn, Cadence customers are some of the world’s most innovative companies, delivering extraordinary electronic products from chips to boards to complete systems for the most dynamic market applications including hyperscale computing, 5G communications, automotive, mobile, aerospace, consumer, industrial, and healthcare.
Generally, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an aspect of multiphysics system analysis that simulates the behavior of fluids and their thermodynamic properties using numerical models. Cadence’s CFD suite includes application areas such as propulsion, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, and combustion. What makes CFD platforms especially pivotal is their ability to adapt to specific instances of additional physical phenomena.
