About CAEresults
CAEresults Franz Brunner is an engineering office for Computer Aided Engineering located in Rohrdorf/Lauterbach in Upper Bavaria. The sole proprietorship offers calculation services in the fields of CFD flow analysis, heat transfer, and FEM structural mechanics, including using Simcenter NX adv. flow, FloEFD, OpenFOAM, and NX Nastran adv. nonlinear. The range of services includes laminar and turbulent flows, rotation-induced applications like fans and pumps, moist simulations with condensation, convective and radiative heat transfers, electronic cooling down to the chip level, and linear and non-linear strength calculations including hyperelasticity, buckling, and eigenfrequency analyses. Additionally, adjoint CFD topology optimization, shape optimization, parameter studies (DOE), and sensitivity analyses with Dakota are offered. The company primarily works alongside development processes and delivers innovative solutions in addition to calculation results; several patents have already resulted from this. Reference customers come from the household appliances, lighting, electronics, and mold technology industries, as well as wind power, pump, and thermal process technology, in Germany, Spain, France, Switzerland, and Canada.
