NEiThermal Advanced

by Noran Engineering

The NEiThermal Advanced adds many advanced thermal and fluid flow modeling capabilities to the base package, such as duct flow modeling, including coupled convection and fluid flow analysis. An extensive set of modeling tools is provided for advanced radiation and spacecraft modeling, including solar and orbital heating, orbit modeling and display, specular reflections with ray tracing, and articulating structures. These tools are also complemented by a number of more advanced solver features such as custom user subroutines, model simplification, sub-structuring, and interfaces to industry thermal codes.
