Simcenter 3D Thermal Multiphysics.
Simcenter 3D Thermal MultiphysicsComprehensive simulation for fast and accurate modeling of heat transfer and fluid flow, together with structural interactions with Simcenter Nastran to optimize product performance and reliability.
Simcenter 3D Thermal Multiphysics is powered by innovative technology from Maya HTT.
Fully integrate thermal and structural simulation
Accurately and quickly model and simulate products that are influenced by both thermal and structural effects.
In turbomachinery, hot fluids cause structural expansion and displacements, which in turn influence thermal behavior.
In batteries, performance is seriously affected by temperature rise and mechanical degradation during the charge or discharge.
Simcenter 3D Thermal Multiphysics gives engineers the tools to model complex thermal structural physics together.
Accurately model complex flows
Use advanced boundary conditions to model advection and convection heat transfer for a variety of applications:
- Aircraft ventilation and thermal management
- Battery and electric motors for electric vehicle concepts
- Blade cooling for rotating machinery
- Whole engine model for gas turbines
- Natural convection in headlamp cavities
Accelerate design with GPU-based simulation
Multiphysics analysis of tightly coupled thermal, flow, and structural physics – for example, in a headlamp or lighting system – is traditionally computationally expensive.
With Simcenter 3D Thermal Multiphysics, you can use your graphical processor unit (GPU) to simulate thermal radiation effects orders of magnitude faster than you could with computer processor units (CPU).
Model real-world operating conditions
Under real-world operating conditions, products are exposed to changes in engine behavior and loading conditions. Being able to model these changes accurately is crucial.
With Simcenter 3D Thermal Multiphysics, you can easily model your entire mission cycle or flight profile under a variety of operating conditions, and use the mission cycle profile to drive the heat transfer phenomenon.
Get whole engine modeling at the right level of complexity
Take advantage of 2D/3D whole engine modeling (WEM) for fast solves, easy model setup, and smaller model size, while also gaining the capability to obtain higher fidelity modeling for components with complex geometry.
Automate data exchange between simulation models
Iterate designs faster with co-simulation and avoid the risk of data-transfer errors.
Perform two-way coupled transient analysis of your model with a system-level solver, such as Simcenter Amesim or Simcenter Flomaster, or any simulation software that supports the functional mock-up interface (FMI) industrial standard.
Build confidence, save time, and innovate faster with TMG Correlation
Save weeks or months of work. Correlate complex thermal models to test or analysis data to meet industry or certification standards.
Facilitate collaboration and simplify workflows
Facilitate collaboration across teams and between users with the Assembly FEM and SIM features.
Speed up design iterations by taking advantage of Simcenter 3D associativity to automatically update all entities, such as mesh and boundary conditions, that are built on a geometry that is being modified.
Keep proprietary and confidential data safe
Use your custom proprietary correlations in models and simulations with the help of a vast array of solver plugin API functions.
Use your plugin correlations coded in C++ to define your boundary conditions. The data is handled as a black box by the TMG thermal solver, meaning your proprietary correlations data remains confidential.
Manage, monitor and store remotely
Stop juggling multiple command line windows and extensive command operations, and reduce the risk of user input errors.
Use Remote Simulation to send your solves from the Simcenter 3D environment to a remote machine, where you can easily view their current status and plot the results.
