Modelling and simulation of thermal transfers and fluid flows
Optimising the performance and durability of your products
Why model thermal transfers?
Thermal simulation is an essential tool for optimising heat exchange management in many industrial sectors. It enables you to :
- Analyse and predict thermal transfers by conduction, convection and radiation.
- Optimise the performance of thermal systems for better heat dissipation.
- Improve equipment durability by preventing excessive thermal stress.
- Ensure compliance with safety and energy efficiency standards
- Develop appropriate solutions for the thermal management of industrial materials and components
