Using Caedium add-ons you can create any 2D or 3D geometry or import your geometry from another CAD package. Then simulate how a gas (e.g. air) or liquid (e.g. water) will flow over and through your geometry
WOW!

Wouldn't have a use that I can think of for it but it looks an interesting application.

If you were designing a building where perhaps it was windy every late summer (Rome? Rome gets pretty windy in the late summer!), this could be really useful if you wanted to direct the air current away from an area that you needed to sit out in, and enjoy the late sun. Just an idea. In sustainable technology, CAE really comes in handy for finding exactly how much you need for strength but how little you would need to make something cost effective. For example, using certain types of costly metals. You could also discover where a model would need extra strength etc etc. Mind warping stuff, but great if you like a bit of maths now and then!
