FIFTY2 Technology PreonLab v6.1.1

FIFTY2 PreonLab - CFD simulation tool for the analysis of fluids and their behavior in and around the vehicle.

The difference between classic CFD and PreonLab is quickly explained. Classical CFD is based on mesh creation, for PreonLab a different approach was chosen: Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is the basis of the revolutionary PREON technology.

Without the need for a mesh, all hydrodynamic challenges can be solved quickly and, most importantly, easily. PreonLab provides you with reliable results that are impressively visualized.

Here we go! PreonLab 6.1 is out now.

It is loaded with new features and improvements, enabling new engineering possibilities and applications. Empowered by the new GPU capabilities, PreonLab 6.1 takes another leap forward in efficient computing, delivering results even quicker.

• Enhanced GPU performance: PreonLab’s GPU implementation just got a significant boost. Not only does PreonLab 6.1 support multi-GPU computing now, but it also enables continuous particle size (CPS), dynamic sampling, and adaptive sampling on GPU, making your simulations even more efficient.
• Airflow and Car Suspension Model (CSM): PreonLab 6.1 also enables airflow import and CSM support for simulations on GPU. These are some of the key application enablers making it possible to simulate various use cases also on GPU.
• Snow Model on GPU: Snow modeling has been an important part of existing PreonLab capabilities. We are thrilled to announce that our snow model is now also available on the GPU platform.
• Enhanced Thermodynamics: Convective boundary condition has been added to the list of available boundary conditions.  Convective Boundary Conditions can represent a more physical heat transfer, that predominantly occurs due to convective heat transport at fluid-fluid or fluid-solid interfaces. It is designed to conveniently represent natural or forced convection of heated solid bodies or fluids, in applications like heat exchangers, heat sinks, and even e-motors.

Meteotest Meteonorm v8.2.0

Meteonorm is a software tool that allows you to access data about solar radiation and other weather parameters around the world. Although the program has a straightforward interface, the correct interpretation of the data provided depends on knowledge well beyond being able to use the software.

Luckily, you can easily configure the program if you follow a series of steps suggested by the wizard. First, you need to pick the desired locations from those available. Second, you should decide on the data source and the way to process the information. Third, it is necessary to set the calculation methods, including radiation and temperature periods, with the possibility of adding scenarios for future periods.

Fourth, you can set the output formats from a wide range that comprises not only Meteonorm data but also Building Simulation, PV, Solar Thermal and General Use. What is more, you can even customize the output format to your specific needs. Finally, you will be presented with the results, including graphs portraying such meteorological parameters as daily temperature, radiation, temperature, precipitation, sunshine radiation and daily global radiation. Likewise, you can also visualize the exact figures from a table and export these results to disk.

Meteonorm is not only a software program but a meteorological service as well. As a result, the quality of the data depends on the reliability of the service. In this respect, you should know that Meteonorm is widely recognized as one of the leading services of this kind in the world and used as a standard for solar energy simulations.

In this regard, it offers more than 30 meteorological parameters collected over several years. It receives weather reports from a wide network of more than 8000 ground meteorological stations around the globe as well as five geostationary satellites. However, there have been concerns about the methods used to model data as well as the uneven distribution of the stations.

All in all, Meteonorm is undoubtedly a great source of data for all kinds of activities that require evaluating meteorological parameters, such as architecture, cooling systems, agriculture, forestry and others. It also has the advantage of being quite affordable; yet, there are other similar tools available and it is always a good idea to check what is best for you.

Cadence 6SigmaET Celsius EC Solver 2023.2 HF4

Компания Cadence анонсировала новую программу для анализа тепловыделения – Celsius Thermal Solver. Этот симулятор использует методы конечных элементов (FEA) и вычислительной гидродинамики (CFD) для обнаружения перегрева микросхем, печатных плат и корпусов приборов с учетом тепловыделения, теплопередачи и конвекционной передачи тепла. Celsius получает полную информацию о конструкции корпуса и топологии печатной платы из инструментов САПР , в т. ч. из проектов САПР печатных плат Cadence Allegro или OrCAD. Более того, Celsius может получить информацию о детальной конструкции самой микросхемы, если речь идет об анализе тепловыделения и нагрева внутри ее корпуса. Таким функционалом могут заинтересоваться отечественные разработчики микросхем процессоров, которые пользуются САПР Cadence для проектирования СБИС и корпусов/подложек микросхем (САПР для разработки подложек Cadence Allegro Package Designer/System In Package является расширенной версией САПР печатных плат Cadence Allegro PCB Designer). Симулятор Celsius легко интегрируется в программное обеспечение для проектирования электроники Cadence. Топология компонентов и геометрические параметры печатной платы считываются из файлов Cadence собственного формата. Для представления геометрических параметров трехмерной конструкции прибора, а также трехмерных объектов на печатных платах и ​​в компонентах, используются файлы нейтральных форматов, например STEP. Таким образом, Celsius предоставляет дополнительные удобства пользователям САПР, отделяя геометрические параметры системы от топологии текущего проекта: если параметры конструкции изменятся, разработчику не потребуется заново подгружать данные о топологии платы. Celsius выполняет моделирование с учетом зависимости режимов тепловыделения от времени, например с изменением электрического тока, или с учетом временны́х характеристик, смены режимов работы и профилей мощности, которые можно получить из программного обеспечения для проектирования электроники. Возможность быстро установить величину электрического сопротивления объектов и рассеиваемой на них мощности, легко и просто проводить тепловой анализ, а также учитывать детализованную геометрию объектов и их физическое расположение обеспечивает точные результаты моделирования.

The Cadence Celsius EC Solver technology (formerly 6SigmaET by Future Facilities) is designed specifically to enable electronic system designers to address today’s most challenging thermal/electronics cooling management problems quickly and accurately. The Celsius EC Solver utilizes a powerful computational engine and meshing technology that enables designers to model and analyze complex designs to not only reduce the risks of product failures but also to optimize thermal solutions to maximize performance.
