Solution Segment

Simcenter FloEFD is a frontload CFD solution, which can be integrated with your CAD tool and perform CFD simulations. Simcenter FloEFD for Electronics industry simulation includes,

  • Fan Sizing & placement - choose correct fan sizing to overcome system pressure drop and ensure the fan operates on the correct part of the fan curve
  • Heatsink Design & Selection - select the most suitable heat sink for a specific application to minimize cost, weight and pressure drop whilst meeting temperature
  • Power Electronics - Sufficiently cool power electronics to ensure operational performance
  • Cold Plates & Liquid Cooling - use liquid as the primary cooling medium due to increased power density or cost-effectiveness
  • Vent Sizing & Location - Optimize the rate and uniformity of system-level air flow through placement and size of vents
  • Air Flow Optimization - Optimize air flow by identifying obstructions such as connectors and heatsinks
  • Joule Heating - Joule heating in traces can cause additional voltage drop, trace de-lamination, and even melting of the dielectric
  • Case & Junction Temperature Prediction - Meet specification, whether it’s a power package, LED, microprocessor or ASIC by evaluating detailed and compact thermal package models to predict junction and case temperature during design
  • Enclosure Thermal Design - to ensure temperature limits are not exceeded and prevent dust ingress
  • Heatpipes - Heatpipes are used to transport heat from the source to a heat rejection area or reduce temperature gradients in a heat spreader
  • Lighting - Ensure adequate cooling of light bulbs accounting for conduction, convection and radiation losses
