Course Overview

This hands on workshop will teach you how to use FloTHERM thermal analysis software. Complete with instruction and tutorial exercises, the workshop guides you through all aspects of model building, using SmartParts and libraries, importing data from MCAD and EDA software, sequential optimization and visualization of results.

You Will Learn

This course is divided into two parts:

  1. The first part of the course is a mixture of lectures, demonstrations, and tutorials designed to introduce you to the basic concepts and different types of conditions. The hands-on tutorials focus on practical examples that you will need for building your own models.
  2. The second part of the course is set aside in order to start building models for applications. This session will include advice on modeling strategies. It is suggested that if you have any information on the type of models you would like to build on the course, that you submit them to the instructor before the course starts.
