Case Study: TERAL reduces prototyping and improves pump and fan development with Hexagon Cradle CFD

Rotating Equipment Development supported by Cradle CFD

TERAL, a specialized Japanese manufacturer of pumps and fans, sought to advance its product development to create higher-efficiency, energy-saving equipment. The company aimed to leverage its computational fluid dynamics (CFD) research to enhance its design methodology and reduce its reliance on costly and time-consuming physical prototyping. They turned to Hexagon for a solution using its Cradle CFD software.

By implementing Hexagon's scFLOW software, TERAL drastically improved its design process. The solution provided stable, high-precision analysis that reduced simulation setup time, helped standardize workflows, and enabled the discovery of manufacturing discrepancies through reverse engineering. The measurable results for TERAL included a drastic reduction in prototyping costs and time, with performance targets now sometimes being met after just a single prototype instead of multiple iterations.
