Competitive pricing
Below are a few of examples of what your typical simulations would cost with bramble, based on public cloud simulation, (prices may vary).
bramble operates on a pay-as-you-go model, where customers purchase core-hours that are used when a simulation completes.
There are no subscription or license fees and you only get charged when a simulation completes.

Powerful analysis
bramble extracts vast amounts of data from a simulation when it completes including:
Forces & moments on whole bike and individual components
Aerodynamic balances for pitch, roll and yaw
Force accumulation and distributions
Plots and movies of total and static pressure, velocity, vorticity, helicity and Q criterion
All this data can be viewed in and downloaded from the browser, no matter where you are in the world. Plus bramble puts all the results in one place, nicely organised to make finding, analysing and tracking your data so much easier.
How it works
1. CAD
Convert your CAD geometry to a triangulated mesh format such as STL. No additional CFD pre-processor needed.
2. Upload
Upload STL to bramble and use to create an Assembly in the Model Viewer.
3. Solve
Select CFD methodology, template settings and combine with your Assembly. Launch cycling aerodynamics simulation.
4. Visualise
Use bramble’s results page to view forces, flow metrics, images and movies.
5. Decision
Make next design decision and repeat the process.
Unlock the Power of Virtual Wind Tunnel Testing
At Bramble CFD, we use advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to simulate real-world aerodynamic conditions, just like a wind tunnel, providing bike and accessory designers with detailed insights to refine their designs. CFD offers the flexibility to explore multiple design variations efficiently, making it easier to optimise performance at every stage. Whether you’re fine-tuning a frame, perfecting a helmet, or enhancing wheel aerodynamics, our virtual wind testing solutions deliver precise data to help you achieve your goals. If you’re exploring ways to enhance your aerodynamic performance, CFD is a powerful tool that complements traditional wind tunnel testing and opens the door to endless possibilities.
