Service / Thermal
Thermal analysis and heat management.
Understand temperature fields and heat flow early, evaluate cooling concepts and reduce thermal risk.
We analyze steady and transient heat transfer in components and complete systems, combining conduction, convection and — where relevant — coupled fluid or structural models.
Analysis scope
Thermal management
- Cooling concepts and airflow
- Battery and electronics cooling
- Engine-bay and drive cooling
- Cabin HVAC
Thermal validation
- Hotspot and limit-temperature assessment
- Thermal boundary conditions for FEA
- Heat protection
- Design and sensitivity studies
Typical outputs
Evaluation for design and variant comparison.
- Temperature and heat-flow fields
- Hotspot assessment
- Cooling demand
- Thermal load histories
