Exa PowerFLOW On Demand

Exa CorporationExa Corporation, a leader in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics, supplies fluid flow simulation and analysis software and services primarily to the ground transportation and aerospace industries. Exa® PowerFLOW® On Demand offers manufacturers a complete digital test facility for aerodynamic, thermodynamic, and aeroacoustic testing. Evaluating the interactions of fluid, heat, and noise in one comprehensive simulation may help manufacturers to develop better designs by reducing the time devoted to trial-and-error physical modeling. This may allow superior products to be brought to market faster and with lower development costs.

Of course, highly sophisticated modeling demands unusually high levels of compute power. Exa PowerFLOW delivers high service levels by leveraging the vast compute power of CoD.
