  • Produce better products, quicker and easier

Methods Developers:

  • Deploy new best practices easily to distributed teams
  • Structured yet flexible environment to plug-in any simulation workflow

IT Administrators:

  • A safe and secure environment
  • Practical to deploy and upgrade
  • Allows authentication and monitoring
  • Separates essential data (long-term) from non-essential data

CFOs:

  • Significant cost reductions – both operational and compared to other conglomerate providers
  • Doesn’t lock you into a long term, inflexible, expensive contract
  • Futureproof flexibility

Measurable Improvements, Not Just Fine Words
In an age where achieving marginal gains is an obsession, the scale of performance improvements and the cost savings potentially achievable with iconCFD Platform® are significant. For example, this is what Koenigsegg Automotive told us about results achieved with our ICON Digital Wind Tunnel App available in iconCFD Platform®:

  • 250% increase in downforce with only a 15% increase in drag
  • 60% saving in prototyping costs
  • 50% saving in wind tunnel/physical testing costs
  • 30% saving in design costs
  • 30% reduction in projected time to market
  • 5% saving in operational costs
  • 1.5% reduction in overall development costs

In summary, considering the iconCFD® options are better, faster, cheaper and easier, you have to ask why on earth would you want to pay more for something not as effective? Unless of course, you haven’t been given the choice.

In addition to software, we also provide CFD consulting, CFD training and CFD support services to help you resolve problems and increase independent capability.

Why not find out more?
In summary, ICON is a global expert and the preferred option for many industries. We offer a viable alternative to the big software conglomerates that gives you more accuracy, more speed, more flexibility, greater capacity and lower costs. Get in touch and find out more.

Our on-premise and cloud-based CFD products and expert services deliver significant operational, commercial and competitive benefits for clients:

Better

  • Data sovereignty - your data under your control.
  • Frictionless exchange; one integrated process for all users.
  • Robust operational quality as standard: ISO certified.

Faster

  • Unlimited parallel simulations.
  • Faster convergence to solution.
  • Reduced product development cycles.

Cheaper

  • Substantially less cost than big software conglomerates.
  • Unlimited HPC-cores, parallel runs and CFD users.
  • Huge cost savings in design, development, modification.

Easier

  • Simulations capability within just a few hours of training.
  • Fully automated workflows and templated applications.
  • Subscription model with pricing known up-front.

If the desire is to at least list the modules – and space allows – there are two ways this can be done; firstly, using the table below that links modules to applications. Secondly, just list the modules perhaps in two columns. In both cases, my suggestion is just a pop-up box, linked to each module that picks up the corresponding 4-6 bullet points in the current ICON website
