Minimize Duct Pressure Drop

Avoid excessive pressure drop in ductwork: CFD simulation acts as a duct pressure drop calculator, revealing insights into duct airflow, velocity around inlets and outlets, pressure differences, and pressure loss. All of this is visualized in neat, comprehensive simulations.
