When to Use HFOIL, HENMESH, and HENFLOW

A clear decision guide: aeronautical CAD vs Phase 6–7 mesh prep + HEN-AI vs aerospace CFD + HENAI — and when to call custom solver services.

Hendoi’s three products stay domain-specific. Use this guide to pick the right desk tool — and when to call services.

HFOIL — aeronautical CAD

2D/3D geometry, library sections, Geometry Studio, STEP/IGES / DAT export, and geometry shortlists. Not volume CFD. Not general mechanical CAD. Analysis/CFD formerly in HFOIL now lives in HENFLOW.

HENMESH — aerospace preprocessor

Flight-condition mesh, 16 Phase 6 prep workbenches (Airfoil CFD through Internal Flow), industrial BL/HexCore/overset, Phase 7 HEN-AI, quality gates, Phase 8 suite export. Not a general mesher. Does not solve CFD.

HENFLOW — aerospace CFD

Project/physics/BC shell, external/internal aero, compressible, high-lift, rotorcraft, propeller, rocket/missile, post, PDF reports, optimisation, validation, HPC foundations, and thirteen HENAI CFD pillars. Not general industrial CFD.

Custom services

When you need owned solver IP or physics beyond the product map, use custom CFD services.

Engineering takeaway

Chain: HFOIL (CAD) → HENMESH (prep + HEN-AI) → HENFLOW (CFD + HENAI). Skip steps only when the question truly allows it.
