Altair CFD is a computational fluid dynamics software used to simulate fluid flow and heat transfer within and around products. It provides tools to analyse how gases and liquids behave under real operating conditions.

Altair CFD is used to simulate airflow, fluid flow, and thermal behaviour in engineering designs. Engineers use it to evaluate performance, identify flow-related issues, and improve thermal and aerodynamic efficiency before physical testing.

Altair CFD supports simulations involving incompressible and compressible flow, heat transfer, and convection. These simulations help engineers understand velocity, pressure, temperature distribution, and flow behaviour.

Altair CFD is commonly used in automotive, aerospace, electronics, energy, and industrial manufacturing industries. It is particularly valuable where fluid flow and thermal management affect product performance.

Altair CFD enables engineers to simulate heat transfer through fluids and solids. This helps assess cooling performance, temperature distribution, and thermal efficiency in products such as electronic enclosures and mechanical systems.

Altair CFD can be used to analyse both internal flows, such as ducts and channels, and external flows around objects. This allows engineers to study real-world operating environments digitally.

Altair CFD is commonly used by simulation engineers, thermal analysts, and design engineers involved in fluid and thermal performance evaluation.

Altair CFD is typically used during design and validation stages to evaluate fluid and thermal performance before prototyping. This supports informed design decisions and reduces development risk.

Altair CFD helps engineers gain insight into fluid and thermal behaviour, reduce reliance on physical testing, and improve product performance through digital simulation.
