thermal flow analysis

I have a electrical cabinet containing many thermal generators. Using one space modeling for the geometry I would like to analyze the assembly using a third party software for thermal flow. Once this baseline is established, I would iteratively add and subtract passive and active cooling strategies. Of course I want to do all this before any metal is cut.

I have contacted Flomerics, www.Flomerics.com and their product seems possibly well suited for this analysis. The price tag of $20,000 is out of my budget. Can anyone recommend a third party software that will work well with OSM? I am also interested in contracting this work out. Can someone recommend a thermal analysis company that has good experience with a similar project?

Thanks in advance,

Marc

Re: thermal flow analysis

Flometric is the best known software, but i am also facing the problem of funds collection, it is really hard to spend $20k

Re: thermal flow analysis

ANSYS works well with CoCreate / Creo-Direct data. We've done this in the past and just recently.

If you don't do many thermal flow analysis in a year, you can outsource that part of the project to a reputable service. This would be cheaper than getting either the Flowmetric or ANSYS overall.
