On Demand Webinar
Electronics thermal simulation is increasingly critical to vehicle performance. This includes everything from ECUs hidden beneath the dash to ADAS cameras mounted at the windshield. These components must operate reliably across extreme thermal environments. However, traditional testing is costly and time-consuming, and it’s often limited to late development stages.
In this webinar, we demonstrated how TAITherm and RapidFlow enable engineers to explore electronics thermal management early in the design process.
What We Showcased
- Modeling electronics and heat-generating components in TAITherm, including power dissipation and derating behaviors.
- RapidFlow’s fast cabin soak simulations, capturing solar loading and transient cabin air/structure heating.
- HVAC cooldown analysis with RapidFlow, providing rapid iteration for design trade-offs.
- Methods to connect simulation to component reliability, using temperature predictions to inform derating strategies and component selection.
Viewers see how these tools deliver fast, accurate 3D transient simulations. As a result, engineers can understand and mitigate thermal risks to electronics performance, long before physical prototypes are available.
