Product Description:

ElectroFloâ has been designed exclusively for use by engineers faced with challenging electronics cooling and design issues.  It is a CFD based package capable of solving problems involving natural convection, forced convection, radiation (with automatic obstruction checking and viewfactor calculation) and conjugate heat transfer. 

 

EASY TO USE

With its graphical user interface and technical features focused on electronics applications ElectroFloâ achieves an unprecedented ease of use. 

 


 

 

·       PCB Grid, Components Copy, Paste and Library and Groups

Allow quick placement of objects.  You can also create multiple components by simply specifying how far apart you wish the objects to be.

 

·       Component, Material and Convection Libraries

Helps to speed modeling and eliminate errors by providing the user with the necessary properties.

 

·       Object Oriented Modeling Approach

 

Makes design changes easy to accommodate.  For example, move a PCB and all its components move with it.

 

 

 

 

·       Fully Automated Meshing

 

·       Groups

Group together objects by material or type and manipulate them all at once

 

·       User Manual, Course Book and Help Files

Easy to follow manual and help files answer any question to help get you started or to find that needed feature.  The course book and help files have examples to teach everything from how to build a model to how to use EFlo’s most advanced features.

 

Powerful/Accurate

ElectroFloâ is equipped with a complete list of features allowing modeling detail and accuracy to be determined by the analyst not dictated by the software.  Nonlinear heat sources (time and temperature dependent), a patented approach to solving radiation with automatic viewfactor calculation, transient processes, turbulent flows, fans, open and/or porous boundaries are all handled by ElectroFloâ.

 

                                                           

 

 

ElectroFloâ can be run in Full CFD Mode, “Conduction Only” Mode or a Hybrid Frozen Mode (initial full CFD mode, then the quicker non CFD mode after convection effects have been established) for fast turnaround of analysis regardless of the dominant mode of heat transfer

 

 

Full User Control Over Radiosity Network Generated

 

 

   

   User-Defined Functions and Tables  

Quickly create any function for any variable input.             

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Efficient

 

Solver Efficiency Together with State of the Art Post Processing Techniques Provide For Increased User Productivity And Easy Documentation of Results.

 

·        Coupled Electrical / Thermal  / CFD

Solve for Temperature, Flow and Voltage Fields simultaneously using Electrical Current and Voltage Boundary Conditions

·       Convergence History and Selected Component Temperature Monitoring During Problem Solution

·       Automatic Bar Chart and Component Temperature/Heat Transfer Report Generation

·       Links to Provide Thermal and/or Electrical Connection Between two Points

Keeps the model simple while allowing you to represent complicated functions that may take place outside the model’s boundaries.
