Introduction

CELSIUS™ delivers a powerful, easy to use, 3D thermal design and analysis tool right to your desktop. It provides fast, accurate results, exact modeling of boundaries and easy analysis of open region problems.

In many applications including part forming, bonding and hardening, the heat distribution over time within the part being heated is essential. Without this knowledge the process is carried out in an ad hoc manner. Ultimately, this lack of knowledge will be an added cost to the product in terms of quality, time to market, or excess material and energy costs.

In addition to simulating the part, designing the environment in which the part is heated may also be important. For induction heating, the shape of the coils can play a major part in the heating process. In addition, the heating equipment can be driven at different frequencies which will also affect the quality and efficiency of the heating process. To cater to these problems, a finite element or a combination of finite element methods is required. The real question is to understand the process and find the level of simulation required to produce useful results.

Features

  • 3D static and transient thermal analyses field solver for a diverse range of applications.
  • At no extra cost, our software packages include:
    • Choice of solvers: To ensure you have confidence in the solution and for independent verification, both BEM and FEM methods are included in the same software package to suit your specific application needs. Not every solver fits every application, no “one size fits all”.
    • Choice of optimization tools: Parametric Analysis for those who need fast and easy optimization with a short learning curve. API and Scripting give more power to advanced users. Both tools are available in the same package.
    • Built-in material libraries: Customize and create your own library for easy access to the materials you use.
    • Integration with MATLAB®: Users' MATLAB code can include function calls to the INTEGRATED API to build geometry, assign physical parameters, solve, and obtain results.
    • Parallelization: When used on 64-bit computers, this permits full utilization of the available RAM to dramatically increase speed of solution and post-processing.
  • Intuitive interface that can be easily customized according to user preferences (overall appearance, toolbars, solvers, backgrounds, defaults, etc.).
