Ensure thermal performance
열 관리는 산업용 기계, 자동차, 가전제품 등을 비롯한 다양한 제품에서 중요하게 고려해야 할 요소입니다. 모든 열 관리 솔루션의 목적은 제품의 온도를 성능에 최적인 범위 내로 유지하는 것입니다. 이 목적을 달성하려면 열을 수동으로 또는 능동적으로 관리되는 방식으로 제거하거나 추가해야 할 수 있는데, 이 작업을 열 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어를 사용하여 평가할 수 있습니다.
Simcenter에는 제품의 열 특성을 이해하고 이에 따라 최적의 성능을 도출하기 위한 열 관리 솔루션을 맞춤 설계하는 데 도움이 되는 포괄적인 업계 최고의 열 시뮬레이션 기능이 포함되어 있습니다.
Thermal simulation includes a number of capabilities to cover different applications.
Conduction Heat Transfer
Thermal conduction occurs when heat transfers through a solid, from the higher-temperature to lower-temperature regions. This happens spontaneously, and continues until a state of thermal equilibrium is attained. Typical examples of conduction in everyday life include the handle of a pot of boiling water getting hot, the increase in temperature of the outer wall of a copper pipe as hot water passes through it, or the spontaneous chill you experience when you consume a spoonful of ice cream.
Understanding conduction behavior can help you design safer, more dependable and better performing products. Simcenter places robust conductive heat transfer analysis capabilities at your fingertips.
Radiation Heat Transfer
Radiative heat transfer occurs when objects radiate electromagnetic energy due to temperature. This energy, typically located in the infra-red region of the wave spectrum, is also known as thermal radiation.
Simcenter provides you with capabilities to solve most complex problems involving radiative heat transfer.
Thermal modeling
Model preparation can account for up to 80 percent of the overall CAE process. This is often the result of tedious geometry clean-up and preparation. Simcenter offers sophisticated capabilities for model preparation including surface wrapping techniques for extracting fluid volumes and for boundary layer meshing.
Boiling
Consider boiling phenomena in your heat transfer applications with wall and bulk boiling models, improving accuracy of heat transfer and phase-change simulation in your application.
Convection Heat Transfer
Convection is a major heat transfer pathway that is present in a wide range of applications, processes and natural phenomena. Many products rely on a robust heat management strategy for optimal performance and durability. Optimizing convective heat transfer in these devices, either by strategic placement of components or the use of other working fluids, is a complex problem. Simcenter offers robust capabilities for addressing convection in the design of products.
Energy in Solids
The comprehensive heat transfer models in Simcenter extend to solid energy models including conduction in solid shells and exothermic solids.
Heat Exchangers
Simcenter offers single and dual stream heat exchanger models to model the heat transfer between two fluid streams
Phase Change
Some types of thermal simulation involve a change in state of materials. Examples include freezing of water on a cold windshield, de-fogging of interior volumes, and condensation and boiling that may occur where a fluid meets a structural boundary. Simcenter provides advanced capabilities to account for phase change in thermal and fluid-thermal simulations.
Space Systems Thermal
Understand and predict thermal physics for space-bound, orbiting and interplanetary vehicles. Use a comprehensive set of tools to perform orbital thermal analyses to resolve engineering challenges early in the design process.
Thermal Stress
Thermal loads will usually result in stresses in components that add to the stresses resulting from other types of loads such as contact, force, and pressure. Thermal stresses are caused by changes in temperature in a structure where expansion or contraction is constrained. Simcenter includes advanced capabilities for evaluating thermo-mechanical stress in structures.
Thin Film: De-icing & Defogging
A simplified approach for simulating ice or fog layer formation, thickness and distribution, offering quick results with minimal turnaround time. Applications include deicing and defogging.
