Airflow and Thermal Analysis

For precise analysis, ECS uses state-of-the art computational software
programs. FLOTHERM and Icepak are used by our engineers to perform
thermal and airflow modeling. Both are effective computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) tools for completing the thermal analyses at any stage of
the design cycle.

At the early stage of a design, we can identify and resolve thermal issues rapidly using these tools. Early, up-front analysis is important in order to have cost-effective cooling approaches with the least impact to the rest of the system's design requirements.

WHY CFD?
	Provides a platform for quick evaluation of cooling designs and problems without the need for physical hardware
	Offers a graphical 3D thermal analysis that solves for conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer
	Models both the air flow and heat transfer in a system
	Aids in understanding the cooling requirements of the product
	Enables rapid design optimization and parametric studies
	Simplifies the evaluation process of new hardware that must be housed in an existing platform
