  • Rimac Automobili – Designing Next-Generation Electric Hypercars

    Challenge Thermal management is one of the greatest challenges in electric vehicle production. To ensure their batteries meet requirements without sacrificing lifespan, the engineering team at Rimac adopted digital prototyping and simulation with SimScale. Results 96% time savings. 30 simulations ran in parallel. 10 different parameter variations. Thermal Simulation for High-Performance EV Components Rimac Automobili’s…

  • Submer Technologies – Electronics Cooling Solutions with CFD

    The Challenge This system can effectively cool electronics along with reducing cooling energy costs by up to 95% when compared to traditional air cooling. When designing one of their SmartPods, Submer noticed that an electrical box needed to be placed very close to the IT tank where the cooled electronics are kept. Due to spatial…

  • Raycore Lights – Iterating Faster with Cloud Thermal Analysis

    Challenge Shorten the design and prototype lifecycle. Incorporate a CAE tool that would add value but not pose a high financial barrier. Maintain control of the design process while also controlling costs. Results 5 simulations ran in parallel. 8 design iterations. Finding a Cost-Effective CAE Tool For Thermal Analysis The team at Raycore Lights had…

  • NDC-GARBE – Proving Data Center Cooling Resilience

    The Challenge As digitization is growing at an exponential rate so, too, is the energy demand on data centers. NDC-GARBE is committed to finding solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of the IT industry to net-zero, or below. Their patented cooling technology enables highly efficient use of energy in otherwise “power-hungry” data centers. Traditional data…

  • Forwiz System – Optimizing Thermal Management for Servers

    The Challenge There was a need for numerical simulation when a request came in from a company that manufactures high-end server computers. There was a serious issue regarding the cooling of the CPU, which needed a tailored solution to the problem. In order to obtain the best design of a cooling module, there were many…

  • Bold Valuable Technology – Cloud Simulation for Battery Cooling

    The Challenge In this noteworthy project, Bold set out to develop a battery concept for a high-end motorsport electric series. The scope of work consisted of the development of the battery, and based on a pre-selected cell, this product needed to perform mechanical packaging and integrate a cooling system within the design. The nature of…

  • iGas Technologies – Heat Transfer Results in Minutes

    Initial Challenges The team wanted to find a simulation software that didn’t restrict them. Yet, they did not have enough computing power in-house to have a localized simulation platform. With SimScale, lack of computing power wasn’t an issue, as processing takes place in the cloud. SimScale is easily accessible from any web browser, giving iGas…

  • OnLogic – Meeting Thermal Targets for Rugged Computers

    Challenge Meet thermal requirements that were set out. Ability to make quick design interactions. Results 3-5 designs simulated in parallel. 95% accuracy of testing performance. Results in 12 hours. Beating The Clock The thermal requirements that OnLogic set out to meet for their Karbon 700 high-performance, rugged edge computer system were beyond any that they…

  • Cincinnati Test Systems – Optimizing Leak Detection with CFD

    The Challenge They have to remain reliably sealed for extended amounts of time (in many cases over 10 years), with allowed ingress or egress rates as low as 10-9 – 10-7 std.cm3/sec. These extremely stringent requirements call for precise testing. One of the most commonly used approaches is based on pressurising the test parts with…

  • Spark – Assessing MIRA Camera Thermal Performance

    The Challenge Spark wanted to analyze the temperature contour on the heat sinks and on the image sensor board for each of their design versions. This way they could determine which of their designs best matches the required operating conditions and as such can be prototyped. The project involved running transient FEA heat transfer simulations…

  • QRC Technologies – Preventing Thermal Damage in Electronics

    The Challenge An engineering project directed by David McCall, Senior Mechanical Engineer at QRC Technologies, was to design enclosures for RF testing equipment that measure cellular band signals and optimize heat dissipation. RF testing tools can get hot—up to 50 °C (122 °F)—when relying on passive cooling alone. This became a big problem for QRC’s…
