Qfin

Heat Pipes

What is Qfin?

Qfin is a powerful simulation software tool that allows engineers to design, analyze, and optimize the thermal performance of electronic systems as well as individual components. The main focus is to perform detailed heat transfer and fluid flow simulations that can increase a product's quality and significantly reduce its time-to-market.

What kind of problems can be solved?

Qfin is a total thermal management system that can be used to solve component-level, board-level, or system-level problems. It provides design engineers with the ability to test conceptual designs under operating conditions that might be impractical to duplicate with a physical model, and obtain data at locations that might otherwise be inaccessible for monitoring.
