Thermal Analysis Services for Commercial Vehicle Applications


Thermal analysis services for commercial vehicles and trucks.

Expert Support for your Engineering Team

Commercial vehicles are undergoing rapid design transitions. Our engineering team can improve your thermal designs, allowing for a smoother redevelopment and an improved final product. We provide your team with expertise in methods, software, and engineering processes—from analyzing diesel particulate filters to thermal comfort and climate control. We provide thermal analysis using numerical simulation to accurately capture complex radiation, convection and advection behavior throughout the vehicle.

Commercial vehicle thermal analysis

Tempered with real-world engineering experience and a knowledge of software's limitations, our team employs the most advanced software tools available to model fluid flow, heat transfer, and human thermal comfort. ThermoAnalytics can solve your heat transfer problems and deliver improved thermal designs.

Complete Transient Analysis

Where transient analysis is required, our team can determine whether the transience should be analyzed within a CFD code or combined with ThermoAnalytics' RadTherm software. By combining multiple steady-state CFD analyses with RadTherm, you gain a computational advantage, and you can study more design iterations within a given span of time.

ThermoAnalytics provides both component-level and system-level analysis. From a quick study of a particular part to a full system analysis of an HVAC system or vehicle underhood flow, leverage our experience and efficiency for a cost-effective solution for your team.

A Streamlined Workflow

We begin thermal analysis projects by importing orcreating your CAD geometry and developing a high-quality mesh representation. Keeping in mind the goals of your team and possible difficulties unique to your system, we set up boundary conditions and perform the analysis. After a preliminary review of the results, we provide your team with a complete solution, a detailed engineering report, and additional visualization tools, such as flow animations, 2D plots, and surface plots. Armed with an accurate prediction of your fluid behavior, your engineers can make well-informed design decisions.
