Case Study: Avidicare AB reduces airborne infection risk with Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA PowerFLOW

Avidicare air ventilation system using simulation | Customer Story

Avidicare AB, a medical technology company, faced the challenge of designing an innovative air ventilation system to reduce airborne illnesses for patients and staff in hospital rooms. To overcome this, they partnered with vendor Dassault Systemes and utilized its SIMULIA PowerFLOW computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software to digitally model and optimize airflow.

Using Dassault Systemes' PowerFLOW solution, Avidicare engineers could simulate invisible airflows and particle dispersion from coughing or breathing. This allowed them to optimize their product design digitally, significantly reducing development time and physical prototyping costs. The result was the successful creation of their Opragon system, which effectively manages airflow to keep infectious particles away from room occupants.
