Roush Industries: 

Roush Industries Design And Analysis 3 Designs, 28 Analyses Prototype Testing ONE Prototype needed Total Project Time CAD Model to Casting Supplier: 4 Weeks In addition to achieving a better design in less time, the customer conservatively estimates CFdesign generated savings in excess of $12,000 on this project alone.

Credence: 

Credence Devising cooling strategies for test heads in Automatic Test Equipment. Over 80% savings in modeling time versus traditional CFD Able to work directly off native MCAD geometry Over $43,000 in prototype savings 'The measured temperatures taken from thermocouples attached to the chips were in most cases within  3.0oC of CFdesign predictions.'
