Simcenter Flotherm XT
Simcenter Flotherm XT is a thermal analysis software skilled at handling the complex shape designs of electronic products. Flotherm XT allows R&D personnel to directly import CAD files and combines Flotherm's smartpart for rapid modeling. Mesh generation uses unique smartcell technology (Immersed Boundary) to completely retain the complex design appearance of the product and faithfully present the true physical conditions, which can be applied to thermal management planning during product development stages.
Thermal analysis validation can be performed using Flotherm XT from chips ➔ modules ➔ boards ➔ systems
