Advanced Thermal Simulation

Overview Capabilities
Sinda is a world class advanced thermal analyzer with a proven track record in the aerospace • Use an intuitive RC network approach to build
and high tech arenas. Sinda technology is well suited to solve large thermal problems that may thermal models
include various material and boundary condition nonlinearities. Iterative schemes make Sinda • Set up advanced thermal problems involving
more efficient in time and memory requirements than traditional finite element solvers. With nonlinear materials, radiation, and other complex
industry proven efficient solver technology, users can simulate complex thermal models that boundary conditions
may include conduction, convection, advection and radiation along with thermal contacts. • Integrate with a variety of pre-post processors
and radiation codes to utilize existing models,
Sinda goes beyond other generic thermal solvers; it is a thermal programming language allowing
reduce learning time, and increase total project
you to continuously add customized capabilities to your thermal model. Any degree of logic from
cohesion
simple convection equations to entire subroutines can be added to your Sinda model. In addition,
parameters, loads, and materials can be changed “on the fly” from various user interfaces. • Provide unique programming logic to analyze
any number of “what-if” situations
• Easily set up parametric analysis such as
sensitivity, optimization, and test correlation
