Simulations and CFD tools for heavy industry
Processes in heavy industry must function safely and efficiently even in inhospitable environments and under extreme conditions. As a rule, the processes cannot be optimized through lengthy experiments, but must work straight away.
In view of the large amounts of energy required when melting metals, for example, energy efficiency also plays a key role.
This in particular requires process optimization through parameter variations in an automated simulation process.
DHCAE Tools provides simulation tools for manufacturers in heavy industry to help them achieve their goals for lower energy consumption, higher yield and stable quality while reducing costs and shortening design cycles. Higher energy efficiency reduces CO2 emissions, which is currently in high demand, especially in heavy industry.

DHCAE Tools has successfully used CFD analysis in the following heavy industry applications:
- Optimization of the crucible when emitting metals
- Modeling and laval nozzle design for oxygen lances
- Optimization of the separation of metal particles after atomization in powder production
- Optimization of a powder tower in metal powder production
- Optimization of atomizer nozzles in metal powder production
