UpFront Engineering Simulation
UpFront Engineering Simulation Ltd, the home of Upfront CAE, was formed in Oct 2007, by Michael Clapp as a consultancy services business and then in October 2010 a merger with 80/20 Engineering (founded by CAE veterans Sean Horgan and Ake Burman) was completed.
Our long history with the application of ‘UpFront CFD and FEA’ tools, such as CFdesign and NEi Nastran In-CAD helped us develop a range of dedicated solutions and services for the mechanical design community:
- Simulation Project Work
- CFD/FEA Implementation Services
- Project Mentoring
- CFD/FEA Process Benchmarking
- CFD/FEA Training Solutions
Since our inception we have also been broadening our relationships with many other ‘UpFront’ CFD/CAE solution providers such as:
Simerics-MP is an incredibly fast, accurate and affordable CFD tool for a wide range of applications found within Flow Control and Thermal applications and also has a growing number of ‘CAD Integrated’ options such as Flow-RT (Real-Time), Simerics-MP for SolidWorks®, CREO®, Rhino® and SpaceClaim.
Discovery SpaceClaim is a state-of-the-art ‘3D Direct modelling’ solution for Conceptual Design, Bid Modelling and CAE model preparation.
CAESES – UpFront CAE Software for Automated Shape Optimization.
CFturbo completes our UpFront solution offerings as a conceptual turbo-machinery design tool.
Discovery FEA provides instantaneous CAE simulation results, tightly coupled with the Discovery SpaceClaim technology, enabling interactive design exploration and rapid product innovation.
Autodesk®’s acquisitions of Blue Ridge Numerics and NEi Nastran® has resulted in UpFront Engineering Simulation being ideally positioned to support the implementation of Autodesk®’s range for simulation solutions.
With UpFront Engineering Simulation being part of the 80/20 Engineering group, this also provides our clients access to a broader range of advanced simulation solutions and services including Fluid Machinery analysis, Advanced Flow & Thermal, Fatigue, Dynamics, Impact/Crash and other Multi-physics applications.
