Software Distribution at ITB: Cradle CFD

Cradle CFD Strömungssimulation von Hexagon – Thermomanagement-Visualisierung mit Strömungslinien über transparentem Elektronikgehäuse
Since May 2025, ITB Ingenieurgesellschaft für technische Berechnungen mbH has been an official distribution partner for Cradle CFD – a powerful software solution for advanced fluid flow and thermal simulations (Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD). As a well-established engineering company specializing in numerical analysis and simulation, ITB is not only a service provider but also a qualified partner for companies looking to build or expand their in-house CFD capabilities. Cradle CFD is a field-proven software package that is highly adaptable and tailored to meet industrial requirements.

What is Cradle CFD?

Cradle CFD is a modular simulation environment for solving fluid flow, heat transfer, and multiphysics processes. The product family includes specialized solvers such as:

  • scFLOW – for unstructured meshes, ideal for complex geometries
  • scSTREAM – for structured meshes with high computational performance

Industries and Applications:

Cradle CFD is used across a variety of industries, including mechanical engineering, automotive technology, energy, electronics, and architecture. Typical applications include:

  • Cooling of electronic components (thermal management)
  • Airflow and pressure loss in technical systems
  • Vehicle aerodynamics and cooling circuits
  • Indoor airflow, HVAC and ventilation systems
  • Coupled simulations with mechanical loads (e.g., thermal stress)

Our Services in Software Distribution & Application:

  • License consultation and product selection
  • Technical support and application assistance
  • Interface consultation for FEM, CAD, or CAE tools
  • Support for integration into existing development processes


Whether for internal simulation tasks, as a complement to our engineering services, or as a first step toward establishing an in-house simulation department – Cradle CFD is a forward-looking solution for companies.
