At Ennova our goal is simple: To enable the CFD engineer to build models in hours that previously took months (or in minutes that took hours) without sacrificing quality or accuracy.
Ennova brings long-running CFD, meshing, and geometry expertise into a platform built to shorten model setup time without compromising engineering quality.
Ennova Technologies develops grid generation and preprocessing software for computational fluid dynamics. The company was founded in 2007 by Dr. Michael Hohmeyer, the founder of ICEM CFD, Devendra Rajwade, the head of the ICEM Business Unit in Ansys and IDAJ, Inc., a longtime leader in CAE software in Asia.
Both Dr. Hohmeyer and Mr. Rajwade brought decades of CFD software development experience, first through ICEM CFD and later through ANSYS after the ICEM acquisition in 2000. IDAJ has complemented that technical foundation with long-standing CAE distribution expertise across Asia.
The software developed by the team has been used to improve products ranging from automobiles and aircraft to wind turbines, shaping the company’s focus on faster, higher-quality model preparation for real engineering programs.
Ennova combines Bay Area product development with global customer engagement, technical distribution, and domain-specific CFD experience.
Our headquarters in heart fo the San Francisco Bay Area benefits from culture of software, engineering, and innovation. That environment insipres us daily with new approaches to technology.
Because Ennova supports a wide range of industries and simulation teams, the company regularly works across geographies to demonstrate workflows, support evaluations, and partner with distributors and end users.
The company’s decades long history in CFD meshing and preprocessing ensures that our products will thrive in the rough and tumble real world of engineering and product design.
The team blends company-building experience, CFD workflow design, geometry expertise, and customer-facing application knowledge.
Dr. Hohmeyer studied Math and Physics at UC Berkeley, earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science there, and co-founded ICEM CFD before later forming Ennova. His work includes pioneering commercial CAD-based tetrahedral and hexa meshing systems.
