Software
Simple CFD is a focused, affordable flow simulation tool for valves, nozzles, piping, and HVAC ductwork — steady-state and transient incompressible flow, without standing up a full simulation department. For a limited time, the perpetual license is available at a steep discount off its regular price.

See it in action
Upload your geometry, mark your inlet and outlet, and hit solve — no meshing expertise, no manual dictionary editing. A few clicks get you contour plots, velocity vectors, and force/mass-flow results you can trust, on any machine that can run Windows.
What it does
Every flow problem eventually comes down to one of two questions: what does this system look like once it settles down, or how does it behave while it's changing? Simple CFD answers both, for incompressible flow — liquids, and gases at low speed, which covers the vast majority of valve, nozzle, piping, and duct work.
For systems that settle into a stable operating condition — pressure drop across a valve at a fixed opening, flow distribution through a piping network, steady airflow through HVAC ductwork.
For behavior that develops over time — how a flow field builds up and settles after a change in operating condition, or how pressure and velocity evolve through a duct or manifold. See the flow step by step, not just the final value.
Where it's used
Pressure drop across control and shut-off valves at various openings, flow coefficient (Cv/Kv) validation, and force on the disk or plug at each position.
Discharge behaviour through nozzles, orifice plates, and restrictions — pressure loss, jet development, and flow-coefficient checks against measured data.
Flow distribution across branches and headers, pressure loss through fittings, elbows, and reducers, and sizing verification before a line goes into service.
Duct airflow distribution across branches, diffuser and grille performance, and pressure loss through bends, dampers, and transitions at a given operating condition.
Download
Download the installer and set it up on your machine straight away. The app runs unlicensed until you activate it, so you can install it and get the licence key sorted separately — just contact sales and we'll issue your key by email.
Already installed it? Contact sales for your licence key — we'll send it by email, and you paste it into the Activate License screen the first time you run the app.
Limited time pricing
Choose a yearly subscription that always includes the latest updates, or a one-time perpetual purchase. The pricing below is a limited time offer and won't stay at this level indefinitely, so it's worth locking in while it's available. Every license is bound to one seat on one machine, and runs one instance at a time.

Download the installer above and install it whenever you like — that part is open to everyone. To actually run a simulation you need a licence key: email us using any of the buttons on this page, we'll confirm your order and payment details, and your key arrives by email. Paste it into the Activate License screen the first time you open the app.
Each license — subscription or perpetual — activates on a single machine, and allows one running instance of Simple CFD at a time on that machine. Opening a second copy while the first is running is not permitted by the license. If you need to move to a different computer, deactivate the license on the old machine first (or contact support and we'll reset it for you), then activate it on the new one. Need more than one seat? Contact sales for bulk pricing.
If you want the lowest cost over time and don't mind updates stopping after the included year, the perpetual license is the better deal — especially at this limited time price. If you'd rather always be on the latest version and prefer a lower amount paid upfront, the annual subscription keeps updates coming for as long as you renew.

Coming soon
We're building a complete CFD platform that goes beyond steady and transient incompressible flow — currently in active development. A live demo of DynamiX CFD is available now, ahead of full release.
