Case Study: BUROCCO INDUSTRIAL VALVES S.R.L. achieves 25% faster design cycles and optimized fluid flow with SOLIDWORKS

Optimizing Industrial Valve Design Performance With SolidWorks Flow Simulation

Burocco Industrial Valves S.R.L., a long-established manufacturer of stainless-steel industrial valves, faced a need to accurately calculate fluid flow inside new valve designs to identify turbulence and improve performance. Its existing tools (Autodesk Inventor and Fusion 360) could not deliver the CFD capabilities required, so the company sought an integrated simulation and CAD solution to avoid costly iterative prototyping and accelerate development.

Burocco standardized on SolidWorks, implementing SOLIDWORKS design with SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation CFD plus SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional and SOLIDWORKS Composer. Using SolidWorks Flow Simulation the company achieved 98% prediction accuracy, eliminated turbulence-driven performance issues, shortened design cycles by 25%, increased design reuse by 50%, and moved to paperless data management—reducing prototyping and machining costs.
