Electronic Systems Thermal Management:
Simulate your actual electonic system without compromising geometrical detail or the physics of your problem.

Accuracy
Traditional simulation technology struggles to handle complex geometries, and fails to accurately model critical physical and environmental scenarios. STAR-CCM+ is different. Not only does it capture the full detail of your actual design in high fidelity, but it also contains a full range of physics models that allow you to simulate any cooling strategy or environmental condition with ease.

By using STAR-CCM+ your engineers will become more responsive and productive, reducing cost and increasing innovation in your design process.

Productivity
Ensure that "what if?" is a question that you can finally answer.Automation is the central tenet of the STAR-CCM+ philosoph: rather than restricting users to the simulation of a few design points, STAR-CCM+ is specifically designed to allow engineers to simulate the entire design space – spawning multiple design iterations from a single simulation scenario.

Flexibility
Uleash the full power of a multi-physics simulation tool on your product. STAR-CCM+ allows you to simulate all of the physics that might impact the operational life of your product. From water intrusion to condensation, from noise reduction to contaminate resistance, from Li-ion battery design to component thermal management.
 
Experience
As one the world’s largest employers of CFD and CAE expertise, partnering with CD-adapco lets you tap into a collection of the world’s leading experts. Over 50 % of our dedicated electronic thermal management team is educated to PhD level, and with the vast majority of them having worked in industry, we’re guaranteed to understand your problem and speak your language.

Case Studies

STAR-CCM+ addresses electronic cooling issues in lean industrial design
Increased competition continues to shorten design time and put greater performance and reliability demands on each new generation of products. In the area of thermal cooling and electronic system engineering organizations and thermal analysis groups are feeling the pressure to increase productivity to keep up with the demand. Scott Johnson of Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems discusses how Raytheon are effectively using Computational Fluid Dynamics to address electronic cooling issues. Hear more>>

Business Jet Manufacturers Choose STAR-CCM+ for ECS Applications
Five out of six of the world's largest business jet manufacturers have chosen to standardize on STAR-CCM+ for their ECS flow and heat transfer simulations. STAR-CCM+ gives them the power to easily model very complex geometries whether it be ice protection systems or racks of avionics. In addition to easily meshing complex geometries, STAR-CCM+ gives engineers validated physics models that enable them to accurately solve a wide variety of flow and heat transfer phenomena.
