With a full portfolio of digital capabilities, including design and analysis services, consultancy and IT infrastructure, CFMS uses digital innovation to help develop more effective engineering solutions.
Working with research and commercial organisations of all sizes, CFMS is at the forefront of scientific and engineering development. Our experts in model-based engineering, data science, advanced simulation and computing, use digital methods to challenge the performance of commercially available tools, and provide balanced opinions on how to optimise designs and processes, resulting in better productivity and lower costs.
Our projects include;
CFMS collaborates across industry, academia and research organisations, including research projects funded through Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI), Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC), i3P, FlyZero and more. All profits generated are reinvested into the continued development of our people, facilities and research capability.
The digital transformation of high value engineering promises a wealth of new innovative products and the means to reduce the productivity gap. At CFMS, we help organisations apply digital innovation to a range of demanding engineering problems in order to improve industrial productivity.
Collaboration is at the heart of this journey. Our digital test bed delivers a trusted, secure environment for organisations, working with our team of experts to not only understand the opportunities and strategic value of industrial digitalisation, but deliver a collaborative approach to building a digital thread and demonstrating the value of the data that lies within.
Working with CFMS provides an opportunity to fully utilise our unique combination of skills and to deliver real value for your organisation. Through our core services, we are able to offer solutions that provide;
Back in 2007, a consortium of organisations from academia, government and industry came together with a common goal; to achieve significant advances in the design processes of aerodynamic structures.
This consortium included AE Systems, Airbus, ARA, BMT Fluids, Eurostep, Fraser-Nash Consultancy, MBDA, Microsoft, PCA Engineers, Quadratics, QinetiQ, Rolls-Royce, Westland Helicopters and Williams F1, with matched funding from Innovate UK, working together to achieve positive results for the sector.
Following this success, CFMS was formed in 2010, offering on-demand access to leading technical expertise in High Performance Computing (HPC), combined with both modelling and simulation consultancy. CFMS supports organisations of all sizes, bridging the gap between industry and academia.
The CFMS digital test bed creates the opportunity for Through-life Engineering Services (TES) to support a product at each stage of its lifecycle, including:
