As part of their Better Together approach of using simulation to validate their Autodesk designs, they employed Ansys Fluent. This powerful fluid simulation software provides Idaho Steel with insight into how the flow of different fluids through their equipment impacts heat distribution of cooking, blanching, or cooling potatoes. It solves a diverse set of problems like optimizing the pneumatic transport of potato flakes, down to ensuring that the pipe fittings throughout their plant are secure, alleviating safety and stability concerns.
