KELVIN

Explore the full possibilities of time-saving, cost-effective product design optimization with INTEGRATED Engineering Software’s thermal analysis tools. KELVIN (2D/RS) and CELSIUS (3D) are the thermal solution tools in our multiphysics set. Get the complete electromagnetic-thermal solution of your device by combining the electromagnetic power loss input and the thermal analysis.

KELVIN is a 2D/RS thermal analysis software for applications like:

  • Electronic packaging
  • Cooling fins
  • Heat sinks
  • Appliances
  • Aerospace components
  • Automotive components

Fast and accurate, KELVIN displays temperature, heat flux and temperature gradients using graphs and contour, profile or arrow plots.

Our powerful parametric solvers allow designers to automatically vary and experiment with geometry, materials and sources – reducing the tedious, repetitive task of fine–tuning multiple design parameters.

For multiphysics analysis, couple KELVIN with OERSTED, a 2D eddy current analysis program.

KELVIN Features:

  • Temperature, temperature gradient and heat flux values can be displayed using contour plots, surface representations and graphs
  • Boundary conditions such as temperature, heat flux, temperature gradient, convective and radiative heat exchange are easily assigned
  • Heat sources can be assigned in the form of volume heat and surface heat
  • Materials table stores thermal conductivity, specific heat and mass density
  • Batch function allows for unattended solution of multiple files
  • Powerful parametric feature allows definition of variable parameters to be stepped through, allowing the analysis of multiple "what-if" scenarios and facilitating design optimization
  • A wide array of post processing options for design evaluation and optimization
  • Self adaptative meshing or optional user refinement
  • CAD healing utilities for automatic correction of drafting errors
  • Large materials library – additional materials can be easily added
  • Option of custom software modification -for customers with particular needs

KELVIN reduces design time while improving product performance by letting you design via computer simulations thereby reducing costs and risks associated with physical prototyping.

Easy-to-learn, KELVIN lets you focus on product development, not software training.
