I managed to find another Robin to talk CFD with today. Robin Bornoff has been with Mentor Graphics (& Flomerics before that) for 20+ years, focussed on delivering “good science to engineers. We're talking all about democratisation & appification in CFD. We cover:

• why calling niche CFD tools “apps” might be doing them a disservice & whether CFD tools will become commodified;

• what the CFD industry has in common with the automotive industry, both in terms of it’s past & future;

• how embedding CFD in an MCAD environment helped drive democratisation & why embedded CAD is more than just a user interface problem;

Note, this episode was recorded before the announcement of Mentor Graphics’ acquisition by Siemens - we weren’t just ignoring it.
