Collaboration with Actiflow

Due to their varying need in CFD expertise, HWA has asked Actiflow to provide extra CFD capacity for a number of projects. Not only our expertise in the field of CFD, but also in automotive aerodynamics made us the perfect partner for HWA. The collaboration was set up in the most flexible way through a secondment agreement. Our engineer worked both on site at HWA in Affalterbach (Germany) and remote at our own office in Breda.

Due to the broad aerodynamic knowledge of our CFD engineers, and the various software packages that they master, it turned out to be a small step to work according to HWA’s internal procedures. Within a few days our CFD expert was able to keep up with the daily routine. By partly working on site, it was also possible to communicate efficiently with the HWA engineers from different departments.
