Hydro Power

In this field of application, we are currently engaged in impulse type turbines, so-called Pelton turbines. MESHFREE is very suitable for modeling fluid flow phenomena around turbines for a variety of reasons.

Manufacturing Engineering

With our software tool, we can simulate the process of machining, in which a piece of raw material is cut into a desired final shape and size by a controlled material-removal process.
