Altair Expands Thermal Capabilities for Electronics; Acquires TES International’s Software, Hires Key Technologist
February 21 2018 - 8:30AM
Altair (ALTR), developer of the
popular HyperWorks computer-aided engineering software
suite, has acquired Michigan-based TES
International’s technology, intellectual property, and other
assets. TES was founded in 1994 to service the “electronics
cooling” market, and provides cross-industry software solutions for
thermal design and packaging, custom programming, general heat
transfer, stress and vibration analysis, and computational fluid
dynamics (CFD). Their main CFD software, ElectroFlo, is an
electronics cooling package designed for high power-density
applications.
“As an advanced electronics thermal management software package,
ElectroFlo is fundamentally based on a multiphysics and
multi-discipline solution methodology,” said Dr. Ben Zandi, former
Founder, Chairman & CTO at TES International, now VP of
Software Development for Thermal Solutions at Altair. “For
this reason Altair, with its unmatched offering of innovative
technologies, provides the ideal environment for ElectroFlo to
flourish. Combining it with AcuSolve can provide thermal
solutions for applications with complex flow interactions, while
coupling with Altair’s Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and
Electronic Design Automation (EDA) technologies will provide users
a broad set of solutions for electronic applications.”
ElectroFlo is an efficient thermal analysis software that
combines the power of coupled thermal/electrical analysis with a
user-friendly graphical interface to provide solutions for complex
problems. It incorporates coupled thermal/electrical
algorithms, improving analysis results accuracy for systems
containing wires and traces. The software can be used to simulate
electronics ranging from components and printed circuit boards to
full systems, and is particularly useful for designing high-current
applications.
“ElectroFlo is a great extension to our thermal simulation
portfolio,” said Dr. Uwe Schramm, CTO at Altair. “There is a lot of
synergy with AcuSolve 3D CFD which has been widely used for thermal
management in a multitude of use cases. Having Dr. Zandi on board
will accelerate our work in a number of areas, including
electronics applications supported with electromagnetics simulation
using Flux and FEKO.”
