FloTherm computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software for electronics cooling simulation now includes Command Center feature to create and solve variants.

Identifies potential thermal problems early in the design stage. Automatic design optimization tools can be deployed to systematically design aspects of the product. Command Center supports calibration tasks using T3Ster thermal characterization-based models. Now accepts latent heat and melt temperature as inputs and uses these values automatically in transient applications. Imports ODB++ data. Now compatible with any PCB layout tool in the design flow. Blind and buried vias are fully supported in PCB model definition. Includes improved parallel solver.
