Fluid Dynamic Sciences is heading to the AIAA AVIATION Forum this June in San Diego ready to participate in the conversation with the aerospace engineering community.
We’re looking forward to connecting with the aero engineers and technical leaders at the forefront of the aviation sector, who will understand first-hand the problem that our new engineering solution, AFid, was created to solve – the gap between a simulation you trust and a decision you can defend.
The engineering solution you’ll find at the FDS stand
Come along to our stand where we’ll be showcasing AFid – our breakthrough in automated feature identification. We’ll be walking through our Boeing 737 case study and what a 720× speedup in mesh spacing rules looks like in practice.
AFid delivers:
-
- Speed without compromise: mesh generation that once demanded hours of senior engineering time is dramatically reduced, freeing your team for higher-value work.
-
- Consistent, comparable results: every engineer, every iteration, producing feature definitions that are directly comparable and fully traceable.
-
- Decisions you can defend: when results are consistent and methodology is transparent, the engineering case behind every decision holds up to scrutiny.
-
- Seamless workflow integration: AFid works within your existing simulation environment, with no need to rebuild the processes you rely on.
If you’ve ever had two engineers run the same simulation and come back with different meshes and results, you already understand what AFid fixes.
The story behind AFid
Lee Sanders founded Fluid Dynamic Sciences after observing, up close, just how much skilled engineering time was consumed by repetitive manual work and how the results varied each time. He recognized something the industry had simply accepted as inevitable, realising it was an engineering problem that needed solving.
Lee Sanders, Founder and Business Development Lead, FDS:
“I watched someone highly skilled spending hours on work that was repetitive and error-prone by nature – not because of anything they were doing wrong, but because the tools demanded it. On the Boeing 737 study that led to AFid, we demonstrated a 720× speedup in mesh spacing rules. But the real value isn’t just the speed. It’s that every engineer gets the same result, and the decisions that follow are ones you can stand behind.”
Why people trust AFid
“AFid has an impressive team and core technology that appears to raise the bar in terms of performance and accuracy in a range of engineering workflows.” Ron Fritz, CEO & Co-Founder, Tech Soft 3D
“Wow, I didn’t know that could work. I can think of lots of other things we should use that for.” Converge CFD
Come and find us
Whether you’re curious about where AFid fits in your existing workflow, would like to talk through the methodology, or to simply see it running – come and find us on Stand 421 in the Grand Hall.
Matt Godo, VP of Business Development at FDS, will be there alongside Lee. With a background in strategic product development at Siemens, Matt brings a deep understanding of what it takes to integrate new capability into complex engineering environments.
“I’m excited to be at AIAA showcasing Fluid Dynamic Sciences’ AFid product to the people who will benefit from it most. The businesses who move early will have a meaningful advantage: in speed, in consistency, and in the quality of decisions they can make with confidence. And what’s even better, it’s easy to integrate into your existing systems.”
We hope to see you there. In the meantime, if you’re interested to find out more, get in touch with us.
