#  Introduction to CFD with Flow Simulation

Why CFD? Using simulation driven design with CFD gives you the tools to discover how air and liquids move in, through, and around your designs as well as understanding thermal impact. Having this information early in the design process enables you to make smarter choices to avoid unnecessary design delays, multiple physical prototypes, heating and cooling design issues and ultimately, lost productivity.
