FloTHERM 3D computational fluid dynamics software predicts airflow and heat transfer in and around electronic equipment. Features Windows graphical user interface to handle pre-processing and large models. Handles models with thousands of objects. Query-based search function, with data columns integrated with the model node tree, provides model checking capabilities to define data and identify errors. Parallel solver provides scalability for multi-processors. Modeling objects represent racks of equipment and data center cooling devices; can simulate from a chip to a room. Transient thermostatic control modeling functionality allows model inputs to be varied in time and as a function of temperature during a transient simulation. Reduces component power dissipation. Supports fluid-structure interaction through a mesh-based parallel code coupling interface bridge. Exports CFD analysis data for finite element analysis with a range of structural simulation programs to conduct multi-disciplinary analyses.
