New Releases: Coolit v.8, CoolitPCB v.4 |
|||
|
|
Both Coolit and
CoolitPCB have had upgrades this year. The software now includes a powerful
new utility for building detailed models of IC packages, an extensive library
of pre-built packages, as well as a utility to convert detailed package
models to compact models. Zonal grids have been further improved both for
efficiency and range of applications and
many other features have been added or improved to make it even more
user-friendly and effective to use. |

Animation of transient flow solutions in CoolPlot |
|||
|
|
When you load your transient solution file into CoolPlot, by default it will have a small dialog Transient Options open. If you don’t see the dialog, click View|Transient Options. The dialog permits you to display individual time frames, do animation, and export animations to AVI files. An important thing to remember is that transient solution files are n-times larger than corresponding steady state files, where n is the number of time frames saved to the file. |

Faster hardware |
||
|
|
Faster computer is a dream of CFD engineers who always compute at the limit of their hardware capacity. When upgrading your current computer or buying a new one it is important to understand that the speed of computing depends as much on the processor speed as on the data transfer rate between the CPU and RAM. This data transfer rate is controlled by the front bus and RAM. Thus in our experiments on a computer with a 400 MHz front bus upgrading RAM from PC2100 (266 MHz) to PC3200 (400 MHz) sped up larger problems about 35%. Note, that all memory must be replaced and that there is no benefit in RAM faster than your front bus. |

IC Packages constructor and library |
|||
|
|
IC Package constructor includes several resistor types as well as constructors for detailed models of BGA, DIP and QFP packages. The IC Packages library includes over 200 pre-built detailed models of various packages. The library and constructor packages can be used as is or converted to compact models. You can add new packages to the library or modify the provided packages. |
