Thermal Desktop

Thermal Desktop is a PC-based thermal model builder with a built-in mesher. Thermal Desktop incorporates both familiar parameter-based finite difference surfaces and solids with finite elements using CAD technology to model heat transfer in a system. Thermal Desktop develops the capacitance and conductance network for input to SINDA/FLUINT. Additionally Thermal Desktop provides capabilities such as applying contact conductance, insulation, heat loads, and heaters.

RadCAD

RadCAD is the thermal radiation software add-on for Thermal Desktop. RadCAD provides options for using Monte Carlo Ray Tracing or progressive radiosity to calculate form factors, radiation conductors, and environmental heating rates for geometrically defined surfaces. Proprietary advances in Oct Cell technology result in faster solutions when running the thermal radiation analysis of a system.

TD Direct

TD Direct is an add-on module for Thermal Desktop providing a bi-directional port to SpaceClaim, enhancing the CAD preparation and model maintenance processes. Analysts can extend the CAD preparation features in SpaceClaim by meshing surfaces and solids during import into Thermal Desktop, tag surfaces for heat loads, contact conductance, convection, and easily update the mesh if the part geometry changes. TD Direct includes a thermal finite element mesher that is capable of creating curved elements, swept and matched meshes, in addition to supporting anisotropic conduction.
