CFD Software offers simulation/analysis capabilities.
Press Release Summary:
FlowTherm Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software can import 3D models from CAD engineering programs, build conceptual 2D/3D models of enclosures, and run preliminary simulations. With animation capabilities, it illustrates airflow through enclosure and scans heat distribution and airflow on slot-by-slot basis. Simulation identifies potential hot spots in enclosure and eliminates it by optimizing size and location of fans and baffles during design phase.Original Press Release:
Elma Expands Capabilities with Advanced Thermal Simulation and Analysis Software
FREMONT, California, April 26, 2004 - Elma Electronic Inc., a global manufacturer of electronic packaging products, has expanded on its simulation and analysis capabilities with new Computational Fluid Dynamics software.
Geared for electronic packaging applications, the FlowTherm simulation and analysis software can import 3D models from the company's CAD engineering program. It can build conceptual 2D/3D models of enclosures and run preliminary simulations. With animation capabilities, the software can illustrate the airflow through an enclosure and scan the heat distribution and airflow on a slot-by-slot basis.
Elma will have the advanced simulation capabilities to identify potential hot spots in an enclosure and eliminate it by optimizing the size, location of fans, baffles, etc, during the design phase. The company will have the ability to perform multiple "what if " scenarios to arrive at the ideal design. These enhanced capabilities are particularly useful for the company's PICMG 3.0 AdvancedTCA product lines. As thermal management is a key parameter in AdvancedTCA, Elma has been able to optimize the chassis cooling techniques for several custom applications.
