Keeping Tractors Cool
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), part of finite element simulation and analysis, eliminates hand and spreadsheet calculations in analyzing the complex air flows needed to keep components cool under the hoods of farm tractors. CFD also eliminates the need for costly, time-consuming physical prototypes to test fan design.

With the easy availability of computer-aided design packages, reverse engineering technology has become a practical tool to create a 3-D virtual model of an existing physical part. That, in turn, has made the use of 3-D CAD, computer-aided manufacturing, or other computer-aided engineering applications easier. Manufacturers are also finding new uses for these CAD-integrated reverse engineering software tools to speed up development and cut production costs.
