Features to boost CFD productivity

Faster pre-processing

with automated geometry and boundary condition updates

Save ~10+ hours per week on iterative design cycles.

Manually updating geometry positions and boundary conditions typically takes 2–3 hours per iteration. bramble’s kinematic solvers reduce this to under 30 seconds, delivering a ~98% time reduction.

Template-Driven Simulation Setup

Saving 2–4 hours per case

On a team running 20+ simulations per week, bramble saves 40–80 hours weekly.

Reusable CFD templates allow for consistent, scalable setup, saving multiple hours per simulation and reducing human error.
Time saved: 2–4 hours per case
95X increased cfd productivity

Run full aerodynamic convoy studies in seconds

instead of a full working day

Vehicle-behind-vehicle CFD setup

Setting up a trailing-vehicle simulation manually often takes a full working day. bramble reduces this to seconds.
Time saved: 8–10 hours per simulation.

Test 10+ wing configurations in the time it used to take for one.

Time saved: 1–2 hours per angle

Skip tedious manual edits when evaluating aero setups. Bramble lets you change wing angles instantly, reducing setup time from hours to seconds.

bramble CFD software features

  • Update geometry positions at a push of a button

In many applications, updating geometry position and associated boundary conditions is a time consuming and error-prone process.

bramble comes with powerful kinematic solvers that automate this process.

Imagine running a fully detailed race car over multiple ride heights. bramble does this at the click of a button.

  • Catch errors before CFD simulations are even launched.

CFD simulations can be long running and use large amounts of computing power. It is imperative therefore that errors are caught before simulations are even launched. bramble is designed with this in mind. Offering CFD software features that use visual checks to highlight differences between simulations along with automated checks to catch hard-to-spot errors.

bramble’s automated workflows lead you through the CFD process, helping ensure the correct data is entered when needed.

It’s inbuilt methodologies create consistency, ensuring simulations remain reliable, accurate and repeatable no matter who runs them.

Embed best practice

 

Changes in mesh recipe and solver settings can cloud differences between CFD solutions. Therefore it is critical to ensure Best Practice is followed from run-to-run and from engineer-to-engineer. bramble’s lifecycles have key gateways that mix manual and automated checking to ensure Best Practice is followed and consistency is kept between simulations.

Ensure best practise is followed in CFD simulations with bramble’s:
