FloTHERM 3D CFD software predicts airflow and heat transfer in and around electronic equipment, including the coupled effects of conduction, convection and radiation.
Heat sink cools a system’s electronic and electrical components by absorbing and dissipating heat. Good example comes from a recent thermal simulation for an elevator with linear synchronous motors (LSM).
Traditionally, CFD analysis has simulated the flow of a fluid around obstacles and through hollow areas to control temperatures, reduce resistance to flow, or optimize phenomena such as lift
FloWizard 3.0 CFD software works with NX, SolidWorks, and Pro/Engineer, with the Pro/E and NX connections now providing associativity between CAD and CFD.
Abaqus FEA multiphysis software includes a direct-coupling interface that lets physics code developed by thirdparty users communicate directly with the software.
CFdesign V9 lets engineers set up and view first-pass fluid-flow and heat-transfer simulations in minutes while generating high-fidelity design reviews up to 20 times faster than with previous versions, says the company.
