World-Class Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for Consumer Product applications

ICON Consumer Goods CFD applications enable development and improvements that are better, faster, cheaper and easier.

Whatever you are making, mixing, pouring, moulding, spraying, drying, flushing, transporting, storing, etc, a myriad of complex possibilities can be involved. Chemical reactions, heating/cooling, mass transfer, turbulence, air/gas/fluid flow rate, icing, evaporation, solidification, porosity, deterioration/destruction, to name but a few. It’s not just the products themselves but also the engineering, manufacturing, production, storing and delivery processes involved too.

Why choose ICON?
For over 30 years, ICON has been a trusted, expert computational fluid dynamics (CFD) partner to industry. Indeed, we were the first to introduce open source CFD into industry. Some of the world’s largest consumer product OEMs have already taken advantage and we are trusted to handle top secret and confidential information, designs and data.

The big difference is that we are engineers first, not just expert coders with exceptional software. The ability to experience and understand the application from an engineering perspective, and its impact on a whole project, gives our customers a huge advantage in their applications of CFD. Our engineers can physically be there, working on your site, alongside your project teams. Not every CFD software provider is willing or able to do this.

With ICON, there also no requirement to be locked in to an expensive, long-term contract either!

In summary, ICON’s consumer products CFD enables development that’s better, faster, cheaper and easier. These are some typical project objectives where ICON can help customers to develop a competitive advantage:

  • Reduce cost
  • Meet stringent and complex quality requirements
  • Increase productivity
  • Improve reliability
  • Explore and evaluate of a wider range of possibilities at lower cost
  • More rapid innovation/shorter development cycles
  • Increase durability/product life-cycle
