Coolit v. 11 and CoolitPCB v. 7 computational fluid dynamics tools include volume visualization using color fog. When combined with sectional view planes, fog helps analyze complex spatial distributions. A second tool is automatic flow visualization and animation. Based on streamrods and streamribbons, the one-click option automatically distributes injectors throughout the solution field and injects particles that show flow direction, velocity, swirl, and local value of a scalar variable, such as temperature, at the particle’s location. Coolit v.11 has improved CAD models import capability. CoolitPCB v.7 adds new components to its library, such as triangular prisms and inclined baffles.
