Fidelity CFD is an innovative platform for fluid dynamics computations, bringing together technologies from both NUMECA and Pointwise. It provides a unified workflow that simplifies the user experience and reduces the time to results. New, massively parallel architecture reduces turnaround time from weeks to a day or less for complex aerospace, automotive, defense, marine, and turbomachinery CFD analyses.

Fidelity CFD introduces a next-generation flow solver featuring high-order numerics, scale-resolving simulations, and massive hardware acceleration. With its advanced simulations of fluid turbulence, the high-order flow solver has demonstrated the ability to predict aerodynamic drag on an automobile up to 10X more accurately than a traditional CFD solver.

Unique to Fidelity CFD is the combined meshing expertise from the former NUMECA and Pointwise teams. While geometry and meshing can consume up to 75% of a CFD engineer’s time, Fidelity CFD builds upon a long tradition of innovation and turnaround time reduction in these areas. While the integration of the meshing technologies continues, our software products continue to advance individually. In particular, the release of Fidelity Pointwise Meshing accelerates the technique used for meshing the flowfield around aircrafts and space launch vehicles by up to 3X. For more information on Fidelity CFD: www.cadence.com/go/cfd
