CFD Lab – Virtual Testing

Virtual Product Testing for Ventilation and Façade Components

Virtual testing of louvres, vents, fans, diffusers and façade components to assess airflow, pressure drop, rain resistance, acoustics and wind loading before physical prototyping.

CFD Lab helps manufacturers, designers, and contractors evaluate product performance, optimise designs and support compliance requirements through advanced virtual testing. Our simulations provide fast, cost-effective and visual performance assessments, reducing development time and minimising reliance on physical testing.
