The Problem
If you design valves, you already know this problem

Getting accurate valve performance data — the Cv curves, cavitation indexes, and flow coefficients your customers ask for — has always meant choosing between slow, expensive, or dependent on someone else.

Physical flow loop testing takes 3–4 months per design iteration.
Before you get a single data point, you've manufactured a prototype and committed to a multi-month timeline. Every design change resets that clock. Your competitor launched last quarter while you were scheduling lab time.
$5K–$20K+ per valve test
Traditional CFD requires expertise — and infrastructure — most teams can't justify.
Setting up a valve simulation correctly takes a specialist, expensive per-seat licences, and high-performance hardware. Result: a growing backlog keeping your best engineers waiting instead of designing.
$7K–$50K+/year in tools alone
Outsourcing CFD trades one problem for three: cost, timeline, and control.
Every project sent externally costs you delivery predictability, budget certainty, and design confidentiality. When a client needs performance data in 48 hours,'our vendor is backed up' is not a competitive answer.
Every project a new negotiation
The Solution
There's a faster way. And your whole team can use it.

AVC puts validated valve performance data in the hands of every designer on your team — not just the CFD specialist you can't afford to hire. Upload your valve. Get a report. Share it with your customer. Done.

What you provide
Your valve CAD in STP/STEP format. Flow direction. Opening conditions. That's the full input.
What AVC returns
Cv, Kv, Cdt, cavitation index (σ), head loss coefficient, velocity contours, surface pressure, flow lines, multi-stage pressure drop — plus a complete PDF technical report.
Time to result
Under 30 minutes per simulation. Compare: 3–7 days (traditional CFD). 3–4 months (physical flow loop testing).
Three Steps. Zero CFD Knowledge.
1
Upload your valve design
Any standard CAD file — STP/STEP from SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo, or Inventor. No CAD cleanup required. AVC's autonomous pre-processing handles geometry preparation. Just define your flow direction and opening conditions.

Bray International · Houston, USA · $1B Revenue
How Bray cut design cycle time by 90% — and put simulation power in every engineer's hands.

One of North America's largest valve manufacturers was constrained by physical flow loop testing (3–4 months per design), generic CFD tools with licence limits, and an overworked specialist team with a growing backlog. Since adopting AVC, design evaluation time dropped from 3 days to 2 hours, the user base scaled from 3 to 30 engineers across all global design centers, and over 1,200 valve designs have been simulated — enabling faster product launches and a significant reduction in physical prototyping costs.

Scaled to 30 engineers 3 days → 2 hrs per design 1,200+ valves simulated

"The platform's user-friendly interface and robust cloud-based simulation tools have empowered Bray's engineers to iterate and optimize valve designs rapidly, thereby reducing the need for expensive physical prototyping and testing."

— Brindesh Dhruva, EVP & Chief Marketing and Technology Officer, Bray International Inc.
GM ENGINEERING · India · INDUSTRIAL VALVE MANUFACTURER
How GM Engineering accelerated valve design cycles and reduced reliance on physical testing

GM Engineering was constrained by traditional validation methods. Physical flow loop testing and external simulation dependencies slowed design iterations and limited exploration - especially for large valves where test facility constraints made validation difficult. With Autonomous Valve CFD (AVC), their design team began running simulations independently. Design timelines reduced from weeks to hours, enabling faster iteration and better visibility into flow behavior. The team also validated DN2500 valves digitally - eliminating the need for impractical physical testing.

DN2500 valves validated with AVC Simulation from weeks to hours Faster design iterations

"Integrating Autonomous Valve CFD has greatly improved our design process, delivering value previously unattainable. Embracing such tools is essential for continuous business innovation, and as a CEO, I advocate their use to foster growth."

Business Case · Investment · Time-to-Market · Scale
What's the business case for AVC over our current process?

Physical flow loop testing costs $5K–$20K+ per valve and takes 3–4 months. Traditional CFD requires $7K–$50K+/year in tools plus dedicated specialist headcount. AVC delivers equivalent validated results in under 30 minutes at a SaaS subscription cost — typically a fraction of current annual simulation spend. The ROI case is built from three numbers: current testing cost, current cycle time cost, and AVC subscription cost. Most teams recover the investment within the first quarter.

How does AVC affect time-to-market for new valve lines?

The ability to run multiple design iterations in parallel — rather than sequentially — means teams explore more design options in the same calendar time. Design evaluation cycles that previously took days now take hours. New product lines that required quarters for validation can be ready for launch significantly faster — without adding headcount or lab time.

Is the simulation data defensible with our enterprise customers?

Yes. AVC results are validated against physical lab data within ±5% deviation, following ASME V&V 20 — the international standard for verification and validation in CFD. Results meet ANSI/ISA-75.02 and IEC 60534 test procedure requirements — the same standards your customers reference in procurement specifications. The PDF report is structured to submit directly to clients or certification bodies.

Does AVC replace our existing CFD tools or specialist team?

No — and it's designed not to. AVC handles the high-volume routine simulations so your CFD specialists can focus on complex, non-standard analysis where their expertise is genuinely needed. Most teams run both in parallel: AVC for speed and scale across the design team, specialist tools for edge cases and novel geometries. The result is more total throughput with the same headcount.

What does enterprise rollout typically look like?

Enterprise plans include dedicated onboarding, training sessions, and an account manager. The typical rollout starts with a pilot — one power user or design team — then expands to additional teams and geographies. Unlimited user accounts mean no seat-licence friction as you scale. Teams that start with 3–5 users commonly expand to 20–30 within their first year.

Sound Familiar?
Every day without validated performance data is a day your competitor gets ahead.

"We lost that bid because we couldn't provide performance data fast enough. They showed up with validated Cv curves. We showed up with estimates."

"Our customer is asking for cavitation guarantees and I'm guessing. We're spending 6 months testing a valve our competitor launched last quarter."

"We're paying $40K a year to a CFD consultant for results that take 3 weeks and we still don't control the timeline or the data."
