CAD Embedded with CFD Makes for Better Gas Mixing
CFD embedded into CAD can help to accurately mix gases. Engineers can simulate an existing product to try and better it, or start from scratch to create something new. As a case study, examining the Eclipse Linnox burner, a product that reduces the energy consumption of fans that push air into the natural gas burners, shows how best to use CFD for higher efficiency in the design process. A greater understanding of design sensitivities is achieved with CFD than with physical testing.

CAD programs make useful tools in areas beyond straight engineering. Kathy Dickinson uses CAD to design patterns for her business, Halea’s Doll Clothes. Alfred Kypta had a background in electrical engineering, so it was only natural that he would use a CAD program with his jewelry making. And the design firm, Chermayeff, Sollogub, and Poole uses CAD for less than traditional architecture, such as an aquarium expansion and a greenhouse style building.

The way that engineers enter data into a CAD program is likely to evolve. And the workplace itself may evolve through CAD as well. Levent Burak Kara, for instance, has long tried to convince engineers that his pen-like input device is superior to using a mouse. Touchscreens, too, will allow engineers to put designs and information right where they’re looking at it. Mark Jakiela, is hoping to make a kind of virtual office where freelancers can work together on various projects.
