Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the
FloTHERM® XT software that enables the industry’s first integrated
MDA-EDA electronics cooling simulation solution—from conceptual
through detailed design—to dramatically shorten the process. This
solution addresses two of today’s trends which are electronic
challenges and geometric complexity. The electronic challenges are
driven by increasing speed, density, and power consumption of ICs,
PCBs and electronic systems. The increasing geometric complexity is
driven by decreasing size and the increased influence of industrial
design which requires handling of complex shapes. The FloTHERM XT
technology efficiently interconnects mechanical design automation
(MDA) and electronic design automation (EDA) domains and addresses
the needs of design engineers as well as thermal specialists.
This electronics cooling simulation solution enables earlier
virtual prototyping, fewer design iterations, and advanced
“what-if” analysis for improved product quality and faster
time-to-market benefits. Key markets where the FloTHERM XT product
can benefit design teams from components to systems of electronic
applications are industries such as automotive, aerospace,
telecommunications, computing, industrial automation and consumer
electronics.
“In support of our design consultancy business, FloTHERM XT
empowers us to perform thermal analysis throughout our client’s
design process. We are now able to start optimizing designs from
the early concept stage and, using the same data model, can
continue to support our clients with increasing levels of
sophistication and shape complexity as they progress onto the
verification/prototype phase and prepare a fully vetted design
ready for manufacturing,” said Guy Wagner, director, Electronic
Cooling Solutions.
Combining the electronics cooling DNA from the Mentor Graphics®
Corporation’s market-leading FloTHERM® thermal analysis software,
and Concurrent Computational Fluid Dynamic (Concurrent CFD)
technology from the FloEFD™ product, the FloTHERM XT solution
offers the power and performance to solve complex electronics
systems design problems. The product’s easy-to-use interface is
fully configurable so new users can customize the functionality
features on the screen, providing a scalable user experience that
can be adapted as the needs of the design project change.
Imported or CAD-generated geometries work seamlessly with the
FloTHERM XT’s SmartPart library of models, and automatic meshing
and data convergence provide significant reduction in execution
times. It also provides an easy and intuitive direct interface to
enterprise platforms such as the market-leading Mentor Expedition®
Enterprise solution. The direct integration of the FloTHERM XT
product with PCB design flows will reduce time-consuming data
translation and costly errors. As a result, FloTHERM XT is the only
solution on the market that allows engineers to work effortlessly
with geometry created in the MDA or EDA world.
“Our FloTHERM XT technology was developed to support today’s
most innovative electronics components and systems,” stated Erich
Buergel, general manager of Mentor Graphics Mechanical Analysis
Division. “We have combined our best-in-class technologies from
FloTHERM and FloEFD with an easy-to-use interface that will serve
both the MDA and EDA worlds, and we believe FloTHERM XT will be a
‘game-changer’ in electronics cooling due to the ease with which
MDA and EDA data can be used to create the single best design.”
The FloTHERM XT product is available for immediate shipment.
