Flomerics Adds Thermal Models of Sunon Mighty Mini Fans to SmartParts3D Website
(July 3, 2007) - Flomerics has added thermal models of Sunon's Mighty Mini fans and blowers to its SmartParts3D website (http://www.smartparts3d.com). Engineers can streamline the thermal design process by downloading these new models and incorporating them into thermal simulations. This approach is more accurate than making rough estimates from a paper chart because SmartParts3D models have the...
