Built for Teams, Trusted by Leadership: Created by an aerospace team for aerospace teams. From solver onboarding to secure, ITAR-aligned infrastructure, we deliver real-world support and compliance you can count on for aerodynamic design—engineer-ready, leadership-approved.
Hypersonic Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) requires massive compute to capture shock interactions, boundary layer transition, and real gas effects. Our HPC platform is optimized for tools like FUN3D for hypersonics, Fluent software, Simcenter™ STAR-CCM+™ software, and CFD++ enabling fast, scalable simulation of high-Mach aerothermal environments and TPS performance.
Aerodynamic databases are critical for predicting vehicle performance, stability, and control across the full flight envelope. Generating databases requires running 10’s - 1,000’s of CFD simulations spanning variations in Mach, altitude, angle of attack, and configuration. Our secure HPC environment is built to handle large-scale sweeps using tools like FUN3D, LOCI/CHEM, RavenCFD, CART3D, Kestrel, and Cobalt, accelerating trade studies, maneuver analysis, and integrated flight modeling with no infrastructure burden.
Accurate GNC modeling depends on high-fidelity aerodynamic and propulsion data considering diverse flight conditions. Our HPC platform enables engineers to rapidly generate and integrate CFD-based forces and moments into 6DOF simulations, Monte Carlo analyses, and control law development. Run massive sweeps using your desired toolchain to support robust, high-confidence GNC design for high-speed flight.
From blast effects to intercept dynamics, lethality modeling demands more than just compute—it requires the right tools. Our in-house toolchain integrates hydro codes, materials modeling, and CFD to simulate full-physics kill chain scenarios at scale. Combined with elastic HPC resources, we deliver fast, accurate insights into weapon effectiveness, system survivability, and mission outcomes.
Accurate blast and ballistics simulations require coupling complex physics—from shock wave propagation to projectile dynamics. Our in-house toolchain, leveraging software tools like LS-DYNA, Velodyne, CTH, and Sierra3D, combined with scalable HPC resources, delivers end-to-end modeling of explosive effects, penetration, and target response to inform design and protection strategies.
Corvid HPC enables engineers to explore millions of design variations before a single test article is built—accelerating development through high-fidelity simulation at scale. During flight or ground testing, users can rapidly re-baseline and calibrate models to correlate with observed data, sharpen performance predictions, and guide future system evolution with confidence.
Ensure satellite and space payload survivability from pad to orbit to landing with high-fidelity shock and vibe simulations. Corvid HPC accelerates workflows in Ansys Mechanical software and Simcenter™ NASTRAN software to model transient loads, structural resonance, and component fatigue under intense launch environments. Run scalable, repeatable studies across configurations and test points to validate designs before liftoff.
Optimize performance and reliability of spaceborne Radio Frequency (RF) systems with scalable, high-fidelity simulation on our secure HPC environment. Corvid HPC supports rapid iteration of antenna and payload comms architectures using Ansys HFSS software, Dassault CST, FEKO, and WHIPL-D. From link budget validation to in-situ placement effects and multipaction risk, run full-envelope EM simulations to ensure mission-critical connectivity across orbital conditions.
Users on Corvid HPC leverage multi-physics solvers to explore digital twins of systems under development to rapidly and cheaply identify issues which would cost millions if discovered during production. Digital twin efforts can include design for manufacturability and ensuring requirements traceability through a product lifecycle.
Corvid HPC delivers the high-performance compute resources and advanced toolchains engineers need to execute complex range safety simulations with confidence. For partners requiring onsite expertise, our experienced engineering team is available to support test planning and execution ensuring safe, efficient operations across DoD test ranges.
