Evaluate Electronics Cooling Options: Natural Convection vs. Fan Cooling
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation and thermal analysis are vital tools in calculating the thermal performance and cooling strategies required in modern electronic components. Accurate design simulations allow engineers to quickly predict the temperature and heat distribution in and around an electronic system, enabling smarter design decisions and cost comparisons of different cooling techniques.
This live demonstration explores how to evaluate various cooling options for electronics applications using SimScale. Our applications engineers focus on the two most common cooling options: natural convection and fan-assisted cooling. You will learn how to set up and run a complete simulation of an electronics enclosure step by step, including how to:

“The SimScale platform has allowed us to develop and test scenarios including ventilation flow paths and understanding the dynamics between building fabric, airtightness, window natural ventilation design, and CO2 concentrations in various utilisation scenarios. The platform has given us quality, visually digestible output to inform decision-making and to compare results against our monitored data from our extensive post-occupancy studies. Working with SimScale has allowed us to study our learning spaces in a way we never have before. It has helped inform us on which design strategies may provide the biggest impact on performance. The visual outputs have real value, not just in terms of informing our decision-making, but potentially in communicating how classrooms can work and feel to clients and stakeholders.”
“When I started with SimScale, I knew from my previous experience how simulations are structured and work, but I had forgotten some details over the years. The great tutorials, documentation, and personal conversations with support have brought me up to date within 2 months of using SimScale. I am now well versed and use SimScale even with smaller problems to confirm my pre-calculations and to quickly compare design studies.”
SimScale is the world’s first production-ready SaaS application for engineering simulation. By providing instant access to computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis, SimScale has moved high-fidelity physics simulation technology from a complex and cost-prohibitive desktop application only available to experts in large companies to a user-friendly web application, accessible to any designer and engineer in the world.
