Energy Project Case Studies
These projects demonstrate ASTCAD’s capability in CFD simulation, MEP documentation, and structural analysis for the energy and utilities sector.
CFD Analysis for Building HVAC Application
ASTCAD performed CFD modelling to predict airflow behaviour and thermal distribution within a building HVAC system for an energy sector client. The analysis identified dead zones and optimised duct routing to improve system efficiency — reducing modelled energy consumption and informing the final installed design. View case study →
Seismic Qualification of RTO System Base
ASTCAD conducted FEA-based seismic qualification of a Regenerative Thermal Oxidiser base structure, confirming dynamic response compliance for an energy facility seeking regulatory certification. View case study →
