Understanding low-power checks and how to use them

July 15, 2019 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

low-power checks

by Aijaz Fatima, Mentor, a Siemens business We live in a shrinking world, and like so much else, the size of ICs is shrinking too. The small size of an IC has many advantages, but it increases the power density of the IC, which leads to many concerns. An IC with a high power density […]

Simulating electric motors with MotorSolve software

July 31, 2018 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

We recently filmed a short video with Chad Ghalamzan from Infolytica, which is now part of Mentor Graphics, a Siemens business. Infolytica develops simulation software called Motorsolve for magnetics as you might find in motors used in electric vehicles. Motorsolve is electric motor design software that allows an engineer to do virtual prototyping of their […]

Efficient cooling for EV battery packs thanks to CFD

November 16, 2017 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

mentor CFD

Advanced 1D and 3D computational fluid dynamics simulation techniques can help analyze the thermal properties of battery cooling packs powering electric vehicles. Doug Kolak, Boris Marovic, Steve Streater | Mentor, A Siemens Business The cooling system for an electrical vehicle’s battery pack is slightly less complex than that for a hybrid. It is generally a […]

CFD program features better handling of LED properties

November 1, 2017 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

Mentor FloEFD

Enhancements to a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package called FloEFD include an improved module for handling LEDs wherein the user can define light intensity and radiation spectrum as a function of angle. As a result, the FloEFD software can automatically apply the calculated radiant flux on top of the LED. Users of the package, from […]

CURRENT DIGITAL ISSUE

A frequency you can count on There are few constants in life, but what few there are might include death, taxes, and a U.S. grid frequency that doesn’t vary by more than ±0.5 Hz. However, the certainty of the grid frequency is coming into question, thanks to the rising percentage of renewable energy sources that…
