CFD Support recognized early on that while OpenFOAM is a powerful set of tools, it lacks the flexibility found in commercial software, which makes it challenging for handling complex simulation processes. Despite having many OpenFOAM users, engineers often faced difficulties and limitations that led them to abandon it in favor of more feature-rich commercial tools. To address this gap and build a community of OpenFOAM users while helping organizations achieve accurate and efficient simulations, CFD Support established a dedicated team capable of providing tailored support, customizations, and new features. This initiative led to the creation of TCFD, a powerful open-source software with exceptional technical support.
As TCFD gained traction and user demand increased, CFD Support evolved to develop a comprehensive engineering simulation environment called TCAE. This environment brings together the expertise, experience, and dedication of the CFD Support team, offering an array of software modules for fluid dynamics (CFD), structural analysis (FEA), fluid-structure interaction (FSI), modal analysis, and more. TCAE serves as an all-encompassing simulation environment that skillfully combines the strengths of open-source and commercial software. Its open-source nature ensures unlimited flexibility, while its commercial aspects, such as a graphical interface (GUI) and professional technical support, provide robustness, accuracy, automation, and reliability, making it industry-ready.
CFD Support’s core focus remains on delivering value to its users through high-end software solutions characterized by precision, automation, repeatability, and adaptability to specific applications. They firmly believe that successful projects require unwavering dedication, experience, skill, and focus. Over the past seven years, the CFD Support team has invested more than 30 man-years of development on top of open-source platforms to create professional simulation tools like TCAE.
Today, CFDSUPPORT is a globally operating company, developing engineering simulation software used by engineers and designers in various sectors, including aerospace, energy, automotive, and marine industries. Their mission is to provide simulation tools with a superior value-to-cost ratio, helping organizations achieve better results in their engineering projects.
