Case Study: Shinryo Corporation achieves faster, more accurate CFD analysis with Hexagon's Cradle CFD

Shinryo Corporation - Customer Case Study

Shinryo Corporation, a leading Japanese construction engineering company, sought to reduce energy consumption in building design by integrating Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis into its BIM processes. The challenge was to streamline this analysis for its design engineers, making it more efficient and less dependent on individual skill, as they performed over 150 analyses annually. They partnered with vendor Hexagon to utilize its scSTREAM CFD analysis software.

Hexagon's scSTREAM was integrated with Shinryo's proprietary BIM software, S-CAD, through a custom-built add-in called S-Pre, developed by Shinryo's own CFD Solution Group. This solution automated data transfer, simplified model setup, and enabled even novice engineers to perform high-quality analyses. The results were significant, reducing analysis time by up to 50% and empowering design engineers to explore more ideas. Hexagon's technology helped Shinryo dramatically improve the efficiency and accuracy of its air-conditioning system designs.
