Flexible Automatic Meshing

The simulation process is streamlined by automatically generating meshes tailored to the geometry of electronic components. This feature optimizes mesh quality and density, reduces setup time, and ensures accurate thermal and airflow analysis for complex designs.

Icepak Objects

Model creation is simplified by providing pre-defined objects that represent common electronic components such as chips, heat sinks, and fans. These objects come with built-in thermal and flow properties, enabling rapid setup and accurate simulations, ultimately enhancing design efficiency and accuracy.

Network Modeling

Simulating fluid flow and heat transfer in complex networks of pipes, channels, and ducts allows for detailed analysis of fluid behavior, pressure drops, and thermal characteristics. This analysis is crucial for designing efficient cooling and heating systems in diverse applications, such as automotive, HVAC, and industrial equipment.

DC Joule Heating Analysis

This feature enables engineers to simulate and analyze the heating effects caused by direct current (DC) electrical currents in electronic components. It provides insights into temperature distributions and thermal management strategies, crucial for optimizing the design and reliability of electronic devices experiencing DC power dissipation.

Dynamic Thermal Management

Real-time adjustment of cooling strategies, based on varying operational conditions and heat loads, is used to optimize thermal performance. This involves dynamically controlling fans, heat sinks, and other cooling mechanisms to ensure efficient temperature regulation.

Parametrics and Optimization

By exploring design variations and parameters systematically, you can use Ansys software to run automated simulations across multiple scenarios, enabling efficient parametric analysis and optimization. This process helps engineers identify the best design choices quickly and accurately.

Liquid Cooling

Ansys Icepack enables detailed simulation of coolant flow and heat transfer in liquid-cooled electronic systems. It models fluid behavior in channels, heat exchangers, and components, optimizing thermal performance and system reliability for complex designs.

Solar radiation

You can simulate the impact of solar heat flux on electronic devices and systems, modeling how solar radiation interacts with surfaces and influencing temperature distributions and thermal management strategies. This capability is essential for designing outdoor electronics and solar panels.

Varying Flow and Power ROM

This feature allows for reduced-order modeling (ROM) of thermal systems with variable flow rates and power inputs. It enables quick simulations across different operating conditions, facilitating efficient design exploration and optimization of electronic cooling solutions.
