New major functions to be implemented in next scSTREAM series

Software Cradle Co., Ltd.(Headquarters in Osaka, Japan, President: Ichiro Komada), announces some of the major functions to be implemented in next scSTREAM and Heat Designer. Multi Block scSTREAM and Heat Designer have been using pure Cartesian coordinate (Cylindrical coordinate is available with scSTREAM).  However, it has been pointed out that partially applying fine mesh to the computational domain will increase the efficiency and convenience of the simulation especially in simulating electronics cooling and the HVAC system of a house or a building with the effect of surrounding buildings. Next version of scSTREAM and Heat Designer will be equipped with multi-block for meshing where part of the computation domain can be partially refined. Importing Garber data Current version of scSTREAM and Heat Designer can apply constant thermal conductance or anisotropic thermal conductance to consider different material and/or the amount of wiring in PCB.  However, the printed circuit would crucially vary the thermal conductance of PCB at certain spot.  Therefore, the next version of scSTREAM series will be equipped with the import function of Garber format (RS-274D) which is a standard CAD format for PCB design so that better thermal prediction can be achieved by considering the distribution of printed circuit. * The information above is effective as of April 1, 2008.
