RadTherm heat transfer software is a professional thermal simulation tool for comprehensive CAE analysis.
Your product's steady state and transient heat transfer behavior is predicted by RadTherm software. Armed with a complete temperature distribution and heat rates for radiation, conduction and convection, your team can maximize engineering options in early stages of development or validate a final product design.
RadTherm's highly efficient Graphical User Interface and numerically optimized solver provide your team with comprehensive heat transfer solutions and a fast ROI. Join the many leading simulation teams who use RadTherm to achieve faster time-to-market and reduced testing costs.
RadTherm is equipped with everything but your CAD mesh: pre-processing for conductivity and mesh normals, boundary condition set up, an optimized thermal solver, and post processor / results viewer. With minimal effort you can analyze conduction, multibounce radiation, and convection (steady-state or transient) under realistic indoor or natural environments. All functions are integrated into one carefully designed graphical user interface, allowing users to analyze designs very quickly and accurately.
RadTherm's highly-optimized algorithms handle even the most complex heat transfer questions. Written entirely in portable C++, RadTherm maintains speed and file compatibility across platforms. A state-of-the-art voxel-based ray tracer is used to compute radiation view factors and solar projected (apparent) areas. This ray tracer provides the fastest radiation exchange solver on the market. Compiled user routines and easily edited scripts allow engineers to include functions like feeback control systems. For expert programmers, a cross-platform C++ API is also available.
What can RadTherm Heat Transfer Software do for you?
RadTherm heat transfer software lets you develop solutions to comprehensive heat transfer design problems. RadTherm is a professional thermal modeling program that predicts the full temperature distribution of your product or system. From these results, you can modify your system or component design and test the system's response to the change. For example, active and passive cooling techniques can be tested for cost-benefit analysis. With RadTherm, you solve for conduction, radiation, and convection under both steady-state and transient conditions.
