We offer simulation and analysis services using Flow Designer.
Users' Voice
It is troublesome to use computational fluid dynamics softwares because of
demanding preparation, but Flow Designer lightens the requirements.
It enables us to calculate many different conditions without trouble.
This can be useful for technical sales, factory hygienic management, teaching aids for designing at colleges and high schools.

Because you don't have to cut the grid, it gives flow and thermal conditions quickly.

The design cocept of the software, which is user-friendly simulation software for air conditioning
engineers and sales persons, is really interesting. Flow Designer realizes the concept almost completely. This issue has been discussed among the work group in The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. This concept should be accepted by other areas which deal heat transfer in mechanical engineering.
This can be used in education, too.

For enhancing confort and saving energy at homes and offices, we are studying Proton Exchange Membrane
Fuel Cells and Micro Gas Engines for next generation Home Cogeneration and urban energy systems related
to global warming and the heat island problems. In this type of studies, computational fluid dynamics
helps tremendously in terms of testing air flow and thermal conditions inside and outside of buildings.
However, CFD requires specially trained professionals.
It becomes big concern to the project in time and cost.
Flow Designer has been developed based on working knowledge in order to make configuration, calculation,
visualization all possible with easy operation with graphic user interfaces.
It made CFD feasible for users without formal training in CFD, such as engineers and sales persons
who can really utilize the power of CFD.
For expert users, there might be shortage in functionalities but AKL is working on fulfilling such demands.
We are looking forward to see improvements.

I thought it was difficult to use CFD simulation software but it visualize invisibles like
air flow and heat transfer to help me convince my customers.
Fellow sales persons are also interested in using this software as their business tool.
(Electrical Manufacturer)
Concentrating necessary functions and it became an excellent tool for sales persons visualizing designs
in front of customers. This is what we need at sales scenes.

We use CFD simulation for proposing our designs. Until now, we had to spend a lot of time cutting meshes
and it limited us to simulate only once. Since it is time-consuming, we were not sure if we cut meshes correctly.
We used to spend an half day waiting for calculation on PC. In cases we need to calculate multiple conditions,
it could be a week waiting.
Flow Designer has great usabilities in mesh cutting, boundary condition setting, etc.,
it takes only up to 2 days to calculate for even complicated cases.
This helps us for timely reports to our customers.

We were at AHR Expo in (freezing cold) New York!!
We will be at next AHR in Chicago next year!! - Booth #3028
More info coming soon!

Here is what we felt (cold breeze) simulated (1.13MB MP4 file, need Quicktime installed) with Flow Designer.
Japanese article on [Flow Designer] Test Trive on Nikkei BP.
Flow Designer is software package to visualize air flow, thermal and contamination distribution
in three dimension.
Computational Fluid Dynamics have been utilized in limited labs in university and industries.
[Flow Designer V4] is the software made CFD available for everyone.
Invisible air flow and temperature distribution can be
visualize in 3D instantaneously.
Evaluate designs and ideas by changing the conditions as many times as you want easily on PC.
Concepts of Flow Designer
Visualize Invisible Phenomena in 5 minutes!
The tool makes users concentrate on real issues and help solving them.

For each subject
trying many different conditions virtually is the strength of the simulation.
We developed high accuracy and high performance algorythms based on well-known SIMPLE-C method. "Trial-and-error on computers" This is the way to utilize simulation.

Paying more attension to physical phenomena shown by simulation.
This is the main concept for Flow Designer development.
We want you to utilize Flow Designer to develop your designs and ideas.
Flow Designer is designed to be a tool for you!
Is spending time on familializing with tools reasonable?
Flow Designer is the tool for
busy designers and engineers who don't have time to be CFD specialists.
We simplify operation required to simulate and visualize air flow.
Flow Designer does tedious work for you!
