Altair (ALTR), developer of the favored HyperWorks computer-aided engineering software program suite, has acquired Michigan-based TES International’s expertise, mental property, and different belongings. TES was based in 1994 to service the “electronics cooling” market, and gives cross-industry software program options for thermal design and packaging, customized programming, basic warmth switch, stress and vibration evaluation, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Their major CFD software program, ElectroFlo, is an electronics cooling bundle designed for prime power-density functions.“As a complicated electronics thermal administration software program bundle, ElectroFlo is basically primarily based on a multiphysics and multi-discipline resolution methodology,” mentioned Dr. Ben Zandi, former Founder, Chairman & CTO at TES Worldwide, now VP of Software program Improvement for Thermal Options at Altair. “Because of this Altair, with its unmatched providing of modern applied sciences, gives the perfect setting for ElectroFlo to flourish. Combining it with AcuSolve can present thermal options for functions with complicated stream interactions, whereas coupling with Altair’s Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Digital Design Automation (EDA) applied sciences will present customers a broad set of options for digital functions.”ElectroFlo is an environment friendly thermal evaluation software program that mixes the ability of coupled thermal/electrical evaluation with a user-friendly graphical interface to supply options for complicated issues. It incorporates coupled thermal/electrical algorithms, bettering evaluation outcomes accuracy for methods containing wires and traces. The software program can be utilized to simulate electronics starting from parts and printed circuit boards to full methods, and is especially helpful for designing high-current functions.“ElectroFlo is a superb extension to our thermal simulation portfolio,” mentioned Dr. Uwe Schramm, CTO at Altair. “There may be numerous synergy with AcuSolve 3D CFD which has been broadly used for thermal administration in a mess of use instances. Having Dr. Zandi on board will speed up our work in quite a few areas, together with electronics functions supported with electromagnetics simulation utilizing Flux and FEKO.”
