Icechip is an addition to the portfolio of design simulation and verification tools from the Icepak division of Fluent Inc. These include Icepak, the system-level thermal design tool; Iceboard, the PCB-level thermal verification software; and Icemax, the parasitics extraction tool for IC packages. Icechip is designed to increase the fidelity of package thermal design by modeling details of IC package structures and it significantly reduces the turnaround time for simulations of today’s increasingly complex IC packages. The tool is developed in collaboration with Harvard Thermal, the industry expert in the use of ECAD-based interfaces to thermal simulation software.

Join us at one or both of our half-day free awareness seminars on March 9th in Manchester, UK if you are new to fluid modelling or are you looking to improve your CFD meshing or simulation solutions.

This free webinar will give you the chance to see some of the exciting new features and functionality in the pending release of FLUENT 6.2, the latest version of our flagship product.

The webinar will last for one-hour with a question and answer session at the end of the presentation.

TACC, a leading research center for advanced computational research, provides high-end computing, visualization, data storage, networking resources, and support services to researchers at UT Austin and throughout Texas and the United States. Since deploying IBRIX Fusion, TACC has seen a marked improvement in application speed and productivity, enabling the Center to provide superior performance to users.

The contract to improve the environmental control system (ECS) that circulates and cools the cabin air was won by Fairchild Controls Corp. The company has been supplying sophisticated pneumatic, hydraulic and cooling systems to the aerospace and defense industries for 40 years.

The challenge was to improve airflow and minimize operational noise while remaining within a strict budget. In order to meet the deadline for delivering combat-ready EFVs in 2008, Fairchild Controls also needed to design, test and qualify the improved ECS in just 14 months.
