Mentor Graphics Announces FloEFD Industry-leading Functionality for Electronics Cooling Simulation and Analysis

Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT) today announced the
FloEFD� [Engineering Fluid Dynamics] v9.0 product suite from the
company�s Mechanical Analysis Division (formerly known as
Flomerics), with functionality specifically targeted for simulation
and analysis of electronics cooling applications. As a
�CAD-Embedded� application, the FloEFD suite tightly integrates
with all popular MCAD design solutions to enable mechanical
designers to easily analyze sophisticated electronic products,
including those with complex geometries.
The FloEFD suite now complements Mentor�s FloTHERM� product line
to cover analysis by both the mechanical designer as well as the
thermal analysis specialist. With FloEFD, the simulation models are
easily and directly generated from the design database while in the
MCAD environment, thus enabling a seamless, streamlined design flow
for optimum designer productivity and accuracy. Moreover, with
analysis capabilities readily available to the designer, more
simulations will result in higher product reliability and fewer
prototypes/manufacturing re-spins.
�This new generation of CAD-embedded tools saves us money and
time by enabling design engineers to optimize the design from a
thermal standpoint early in the design process,��stated James
Young, Azonix Corporation design engineer. �Mentor's FloEFD enables
simulation results to be incorporated into the design process by
the right person, in the right place, at the right time. The result
is that we get the design right the first time, only have to make
one prototype versus as many as twelve, and avoid expensive design
changes in the late stages of the development process.�
�With the addition of FloEFD to our family of electronics
cooling simulation tools, we now offer a complete solution for the
thermal analysis of complex electronic products,� stated Roland
Feldhinkel, product line director for the Mentor Graphics
Mechanical Analysis Division. �Based on our powerful EFD analysis
engine, FloEFD is able to quickly and accurately analyze thermal
effects in designs, including those with complex geometries and
curved surfaces. And, by embedding this functionality directly into
the MCAD environment, we have improved the productivity of the
designer, made easy-to-use analysis available to the entire design
team, and enabled our customers to improve the reliability of their
products by managing thermal effects.�
Platform for Accurate, Easy-to-Use Simulation for Electronics
Cooling Applications
Developed by the same team behind the FloTHERM product, the
world�s premier electronics cooling simulation software, the FloEFD
suite offers a single environment to develop, analyze, and modify a
complex electronic product design based on the original mechanical
CAD model. Changes to the design are made directly and simply,
thereby enabling users to conduct �what-if� analysis effortlessly.
Products can be easily optimized for electronics cooling due to the
availability of several key features:
- Joule heating allows for
accurate modeling of the physics in applications where heat is an
unwanted by-product of current use; for example, load losses in
electrical transformers
- Heat pipe compact models offer a
simple and pragmatic method for modelling a predominant cooling
approach in space-constrained or conduction cooled designs
- Access to wide range of
engineering databases and libraries for fans, thermoelectric
coolers, two-resistor components and IC packages enable users to
create accurate models quickly
Availability
The FloEFD suite is available now. As well as a stand-alone
version supporting all popular MCAD software, the FloEFD Suite
includes FloEFD�Pro and FloEFD�V5 for support of PTC Pro/ENGINEER
Wildfire and Dassault Systemes CATIA V5 platforms. For further
