We strive to achieve transition and commercialization success with our product development efforts, and this often results in the spin-out of new companies to focus on commercialization of these promising technologies.

One of our major successful commercialization achievements is the development, marketing, and sales of commercial software products CFD-ACE and CFD-FASTRAN. These products are used by more than 500 hundred organizations worldwide, including Fortune 500 companies, National Labs, and Universities. Most of the development of these products was funded by SBIR and STTR projects. In 2004, CFD Research spun off its Software Products to a global software company.
