FAQ

  • iTSimulation (CFD simulation)
    I’d like to request an urgent analysis.
    Please contact us first. In some cases, we can deliver the product in a few days by trimming down the content of the analysis.
  • iTSimulation (CFD simulation)
    What is the cost of the simulation?
    It depends on the contents of the case and analysis.
    The price for companies in general is about $3,500 for small-scale analysis and about $7,500 for complex analysis.
    Prices for university researchers range from $800to $3,500.
  • iTSimulation (CFD simulation)
    Can I get a discount?
    Basically, we only sell software and contracted analysis at a fixed price, but depending on the analysis, we may be able to offer a discount by reducing man-hours, so please contact us first.
  • iTSimulation (CFD simulation)
    How long does it take to analyze the simulation?
    It usually takes about a month for each case to be completed. If you are in a hurry, please contact us first to see if we can make it to you in time.

  • iTSimulation (CFD simulation)
    How do I ask for a virtual surgical simulation?
    Please contact us first for a discussion.

    The analysis process includes:
    1. Online meeting for a discussion and estimate.
    2. Creating a virtual surgery arterial shape.
    4. Computer simulation to calculate blood flow in the virtual vessel.
    5. Report on the analysis.
  • iTSimulation (CFD simulation)
    How can I apply for a contracted simulation analysis?
    First of all, please contact info@cfd.life about the analysis contents. The steps are the following
    1. Consultation and quotation by email or online meeting
    2. Order
    3. Sending the necessary data and analyze
    4. We send a report
  • iTSimulation (CFD simulation)
    What data do you need for the analysis?
    All you need to know is the shape of the vessel and the flow rate, and we will analyze each case manually, so we can use a variety of inputs such as CT, MRI, CAD models and drawings.
    For analysis of actual cases, it is common to use CT for analysis.
  • iTSimulation (CFD simulation)
    What is the minimum number of CT detector row for the analysis to be performed?
    The ability to accurately extract the shape of a vessel is important in CFD, and as a guide to image quality, the outline of a narrowed coronary artery must be visually identifiable.
    Even if the image quality is poor, it is possible to modify the image based on the angiogram, so it is highly likely that analysis is possible even with an older 64-row device, for example.
  • iTSimulation (CFD simulation)
    Is it possible to determine the most optimal anastomosis position of the Fontan conduit in a virtual simulation?
    We can provide virtual surgery technique that will provide useful information for comparing blood flow in multiple surgical techniques.
  • iTSimulation (CFD simulation)
    I want to use a virtual surgical simulation to decide on a surgical course of action.
    Please contact us for and we will introduce you to an introduction to Dr. Itatani. (Our software and services are for research purposes only, not for medical equipment, and we are not able to provide information on decision making in practice.)
  • iTSimulation (CFD simulation)
    I found another company’s blood flow simulation software, please tell me the difference.
    We only provide contract analysis for simulations, which are custom-made, where a model is created for each customer's purpose, one by one. Numerical fluid dynamics simulations are technically difficult to perform, so our fluid dynamics experts analyze each case manually in order to provide a highly reliable analysis.
