Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an essential technology for simulating fluid behavior in industries such as automotive, aerospace, energy, and environmental engineering. However, traditional CFD simulations are often time-consuming and require numerous manual inputs. This is precisely where automated simulation workflows open up new possibilities: They make CFD more efficient, faster, and user-friendly. IANUS Simulation GmbH supports companies in leveraging this future technology for their development processes.
"Thanks to the innovative automation solutions from IANUS, we have made significant progress in the thermal design of our hot runner systems. The automation of thermal validation has led to a significant improvement in the quality of our products. Working with IANUS has fundamentally changed our approach – we are now working more modernly and progressively than ever before. The effort for thermal optimization of our hot runner manifolds has been reduced to a few mouse clicks."

Automated workflows offer several key advantages. A major advantage is time savings. Instead of manually performing each simulation step, automated workflows allow entire processes to run—from geometry creation through mesh generation to simulation and evaluation. At IANUS Simulation GmbH, we provide our clients with automated CFD solutions that help them accelerate the entire simulation process and optimally utilize their capacities.
Another significant advantage lies in the repeatability and consistency of the results. In traditional simulation processes, manual inputs often lead to fluctuations that can affect the final result. With automated workflows, accuracy is increased because all process steps are standardized and repeatable. At IANUS, we develop customized automated workflows that help our clients achieve consistent and reliable results—even for complex projects or multiple simultaneous simulations.
In addition, automated simulation workflows offer improved scalability. While traditional workflows are often limited by the availability of experts, automation allows for the parallel execution of simulation projects. This is particularly advantageous for projects with high computational demands. IANUS Simulation GmbH offers flexible solutions that allow clients to conduct multiple simulations simultaneously, thereby increasing the efficiency of their development processes.
An often overlooked advantage of automation in CFD is the increased innovation potential. Since automated workflows enable the execution of multiple iterations and scenarios with minimal effort, companies can test and optimize more designs. This leads to better end products and shorter development times. IANUS supports companies with comprehensive automated CFD workflows that enable them to fully leverage the innovative potential of their product development.
Finally, automation provides an excellent way to optimize and save costs. The reduced need for manual intervention saves not only time but also reduces dependence on specialized resources, thereby minimizing costs. Our automated simulation solutions at IANUS help companies make their CFD processes more cost-effective and resource-efficient.
