We have proposed a voxel Cartesian grid method combined with cut cells for simulating unsteady, viscous, and incompressible flows with arbitrary boundaries. In this study, the low load and robust fluid analysis software V-FLOW developed using the proposed approach is introduced. By integrating completely the V-CAD data system, which is expected as the next generation CAD, V-FLOW shows the practical usefulness of the fluid analysis technique based on the Cartesian Grid with Cut Cells. Especially, it could mitigate the cost concerning grid generation in practical use.
