Description

After over 34 years of refinement and input from users, Simcenter Flotherm has established itself as the premier software for electronic cooling simulations, specifically tailored for thermal analysis of electronics. This powerful tool accelerates product development across various levels, from IC packaging and PCB design to expansive systems like data centers. By utilizing rapid and precise CFD simulations, it enhances thermal management in electronics, ensuring reliability from the initial pre-CAD exploration phase to the ultimate verification stage. Simcenter Flotherm seamlessly integrates into the electronics development process, enabling thermal engineers to conduct simulations that yield prompt and precise results, which are crucial for collaboration with other engineering teams. Furthermore, it facilitates informed decision-making regarding thermal management from the initial architectural stages to the final verification of thermal designs. This comprehensive approach not only shortens development timelines but also mitigates the risks associated with expensive reliability failures and late-stage redesigns. In essence, Simcenter Flotherm stands as a vital resource for any organization aiming to enhance its electronic product performance while maintaining efficiency and reliability.

Description

Simcenter Simsolid is a structural simulation solution from Siemens built to speed up analysis by eliminating geometry cleanup and meshing. It allows engineers and designers to work directly with fully featured CAD assemblies, helping them validate designs earlier in the development process. The software is designed for complex parts and large assemblies, including models that may include gaps, overlaps, or rough contact surfaces. By delivering results in seconds to minutes on a standard PC, Simcenter Simsolid makes it easier to evaluate multiple design scenarios quickly. It supports many analysis methods, including linear statics, nonlinear statics, thermal studies, modal analysis, fatigue, thermal stress, buckling, composites, and random response. The platform also includes an extensive library of contacts, bolts, welds, rivets, adhesives, joints, bushings, and material types. Engineers can apply a wide variety of boundary conditions such as forces, pressure, gravity, thermal loads, inertia relief, hydrostatic loads, and remote loads. Simcenter Simsolid works with major CAD and PLM formats, including CATIA, NX, Creo, Inventor, Fusion 360, SOLIDWORKS, JT, STEP, Parasolid, and more. Its visualization tools help users review stress, strain, displacement, safety factors, mode shapes, modal frequencies, and other key structural results.
