RadCAD Description
RadCAD uses an ultra-fast Monte-Carlo ray-tracing algorithm that is accelerated by octa-trees to compute radiation exchange and view factors. C&R Technologies' innovations to the ray-tracing process resulted in a highly efficient thermal radiation software. RadCAD models diffuse or specular surfaces accurately, regardless of the density of nodes. The number of nodes is determined by the thermal solution, not by the accuracy requirements for the radiation. RadCAD uses user-defined databases for optical properties. Each surface coating defines absorptivity and transmissivity as well as reflectivity and specularity for both solar and infrared spectrum regimes. These properties can be defined in relation to incident angle, or even wavelength dependence.

Thermal Desktop
Thermal Desktop is a complete model creation tool. Objects such as finite element, lumped capacitance, and built-in finite differences can be combined in any way. Thermal-specific objects, such as insulation, heat loads and heaters, can be added to any model, from automotive components to manned satellites. Thermal Desktop allows full parameterization by using variables and arbitrarily complicated expressions instead of hardwired numbers. These variables, also known as symbols, enable models to be quickly manipulated by a few keystrokes. This makes it easy to update or maintain the model, perform sensitivity studies, and investigate what-if scenarios. This gives you access to SINDA/FLUINT’s optimization and reliability modules, as well as automatic model correlation.

FloCAD
FloCAD®, a fluid dynamics module for Thermal Desktop®, and together they provide a complete thermohydraulic tool for integrated fluid flow analysis and heat transfer analysis. FloCAD is very similar to building thermal models. Many of the commands can be used to build fluid flow models. FloCAD models are available in two formats: they can be free-form (non geometric), sketchpad-style flow network modeling for abstraction, simplification, and convection to finite differences of finite element representations. FloCAD is a generalized software tool for capturing pressure drops in a piping system due to bends and valves, tees and changes in flow area.

Ansys Sherlock
Ansys Sherlock, a reliability-physics-based electronic design tool, provides fast and accurate life predictions at the component and board levels for electronic hardware in early design stages. Ansys Sherlock automates the design analysis of electronic hardware. It provides accurate and fast life predictions at the component, board, and system levels during early design stages. Sherlock bypasses the 'test-fail-fix-repeat' cycle by empowering designers to accurately model silicon-metal layers, semiconductor packaging, printed circuit boards (PCBs) and assemblies to predict failure risks due to thermal, mechanical and manufacturing stressors--all before prototype. Sherlock quickly converts embedded libraries containing more than 500,000 parts into computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis models. Each model includes accurate geometries, material characteristics, and stress information.
