Innovative Cloud CFD
Platform that lets
you Focus on Engineering
bramble’s user-friendly platform for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), speeds up the pre and post simulation process, allowing you to be hyper productive.
Why choose bramble?
Bramble in a nutshell
bramble is a platform for CFD simulations that can be accessed from any web-enabled device. It provides support for the pre and post simulation process, increasing productivity and creating consistency between simulations.
Included within the platform are customised data management and analysis tools, as well as CFD support and because the software uses OpenFOAM there are no license or subscription charges.

bramble benefits
- Increased Productivity
- Reliable Results
- Customised Data Management
- Cost Effective
- User friendly
- Complete CFD Support
Increased productivity
bramble offers a 5X overall productivity gain with automated CFD simulations.
Automatically change the ride height of your vehicle, (reducing pre-processing time from hours to seconds). Or measure how drag and downforce is affected once it’s behind another vehicle. Speeding up pre-processing time from 1-day to seconds.
In fact, to save you time, bramble automates the process of creating CFD simulations. You select the geometry and bramble create the simulations.
“bramble can compress your design cycles by over an order of magnitude.”
Reliable results
You can trust the results you get from bramble.
Our CFD software has inbuilt safety measures to catch errors before they occur giving you trusted simulation predictions.
bramble creates consistency with inbuilt methodologies ensuring your simulations will remain reliable, accurate and repeatable no matter who runs them.
The automated workflows lead you through the CFD process and help ensure the correct data is entered when needed.
Customised data management
Fast access to your results, customisable tables, image and movie viewer and interactive graphs
bramble puts all the results from your simulations in one place. Nicely organised to make finding, analysing and tracking your data so much easier.
Easily compare multiple results side by side or quickly highlight the differences between images.
To top it all off, you will have access to old and new files permanently, yes, even if you decide to stop using the bramble platform.
Cost effective
With bramble you do not need to buy a license, and there are no subscription charges. Just pay for your simulations as you go.
We have spent 20-years refining our CFD software and hardware solution to drive down costs. Consequently, our rates are low but our CFD simulations are of a high quality and accuracy.
User friendly
Reduce the time needed to set simulations with bramble’s automated workflows.
Allowing you to run CFD simulations overnight and have your easy, readable results waiting for you in the morning.
All the post-processing of your results is automatically done with bramble, including images, animations, forces, flow metrics, force distributions. No scripting is required.
We can provide tried and tested meshing and solving strategies for your application. So you can start running simulations with no CFD experience.
To top it all off training only takes a morning.
Complete CFD support
Our developers and engineers are ready to support you.
We offer training, on-going development and assistance with baseline model builds.
We can call upon the wider TotalSim family for scanning services, aerodynamics consulting and physical testing.

What is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)?
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the process of mathematically predicting fluid flow by solving Navier-Stokes equations using computational power. The Navier-Stokes equations are used to describe temperature, pressure, velocity and density of a moving fluid.
Why is it helpful?
The benefit of CFD simulations is that you can test the aerodynamics, temperature, pressure/drag/downforce of your product before it has even been made. So saving huge amounts in prototypes and ensuring high quality when you do reach production.
CFD simulation is increasingly being adopted into more and more fields from automotive and sports to building services and life sciences.
The benefits of CFD simulations
In comparison to traditional real life experiments CFD simulations can be:
– Cheaper to run,
– Easier to test multiple designs,
– Size of the product and transportation isn’t a problem.
