Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has long been a key technology for simulating the flow behavior of liquids and gases across various industries. From the automotive industry, aerospace, to energy production and environmental technology—CFD enables precise modeling and optimization of complex physical phenomena. However, in times of growing data volumes and increased demands on computing power, traditional local simulations are reaching their limits. This is where cloud-based CFD simulations offer a flexible and efficient solution.
"A heartfelt thank you to the team at IANUS for their invaluable support and deep digital expertise they brought to our development projects. This partnership has opened new ways for us to work more efficiently and with focus, significantly impacting the quality of our products. The close collaboration is a win for us and allows EWIKON to advance digitalization in great strides."

Flexibility through Cloud-Based CFD Solutions
Switching to cloud solutions for CFD simulations brings numerous advantages. A key benefit lies in the flexibility offered by cloud-based platforms. Companies no longer need to operate and maintain expensive hardware on site. Instead, they can access powerful cloud infrastructure that can be flexibly adapted to their needs. At IANUS Simulation GmbH, we offer cloud-based solutions that allow our customers to use computing resources exactly when and to the extent needed—without prior investments in costly hardware.
Another advantage of cloud-based CFD simulations is the scalability. While traditional local simulation environments are limited by available hardware, the cloud offers virtually unlimited computing capacity. This is especially beneficial when very large or many simulations need to be conducted simultaneously. With our cloud infrastructure at IANUS, companies can work on multiple projects in parallel without computing power bottlenecks. This significantly accelerates the development process and achieves time-to-market goals faster.
Cost Efficiency through On-Demand Usage
Another strong argument for the cloud is cost efficiency. Companies pay only for the computing power they actually use, thus avoiding high initial investments and ongoing maintenance costs for their own servers. This not only reduces operating costs but also enables small and medium enterprises to access the same powerful simulation tools as large corporations. IANUS ensures that customers only pay for the time and resources their projects require—transparent and plannable.
In addition to flexibility and cost efficiency, cloud-based simulations also offer improved collaboration. In today's globalized world, teams often work across multiple locations. Cloud solutions enable simultaneous access to simulations and data from different locations, fostering collaboration and shortening development times. At IANUS, we offer our customers tailored cloud solutions, allowing teams to collaborate in real-time, regardless of where they are located.
An equally important advantage is the security and reliability of cloud-based CFD solutions. Modern cloud platforms offer robust security infrastructure to ensure the protection of data and continuous availability of simulation resources. IANUS collaborates with leading cloud providers to ensure that our customers' data is always secure and systems are available at all times.
