Applied Math Modeling Releases CoolSim for AutoCAD — Allows Users to set up CoolSim models within AutoCAD
CONCORD, NH–(Marketwired – Apr 5, 2017) – Data Center World –
Applied Math Modeling Inc., a leading provider of data center design
optimization software, announced today the immediate availability of a new
add-in for AutoCAD that allows users to set up and export data center designs
directly from AutoCAD to the CoolSim data center
CFD modeling application. In addition to direct geometry transfer, users are
also able to define the object type, airflow direction, as well as load
parameters including IT rack power consumption and CRAC (Computer Room Air
Conditioner) cooling capacity within the AutoCAD application. To view a
demonstration of this new add-in, please use this link.
„Many of our CoolSim users utilize AutoCAD to record the layout of their
data centers. With this new CoolSim for AutoCAD add-in, AutoCAD users can now
define the object type, airflow direction, and thermal loads on their existing
AutoCAD drawings. The AutoCAD data can then be exported directly to CoolSim for
downstream thermal analysis,” said Paul Bemis, CEO of Applied Math Modeling.
„This speeds up the overall CFD modeling process significantly by eliminating
the tedious task of rebuilding the model within the CFD analysis tool.”
CoolSim Add-in for AutoCAD Features:
„From the beginning, CoolSim was designed to deliver industry leading
price/performance while providing outstanding ease-of-use so users don’t have
to climb a steep learning curve,” said Bemis. „CoolSim for AutoCAD continues this
tradition by greatly speeding up the CFD model building process, allowing the
geometry and respective parameters to be defined and extracted directly from
AutoCAD. For companies that like to use AutoCAD as their geometric data
representation, this new add-in is a significant time saver.”
Once built, the CoolSim model is automatically submitted to a hosted
high-performance computing (HPC) cluster for processing using ANSYS®/FLUENT
(CFD) technology. After the simulation is complete, HTML output reports and 3D
visual images are produced and sent to the user. This mechanism allows users to
perform multiple „what-if” studies of their data centers to determine the
optimal placement of existing equipment, evaluate new or alternative designs,
or visualize the effect of adding new equipment to an existing data center.
Industry’s Only SaaS Model
Applied Math
Modeling continues to drive down total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) for customers by
delivering CoolSim using a hosted Software as a Service (SaaS) model that
includes the software and the computational capacity to perform the complex CFD
calculations.
„No longer do users have to pay the high annual license fees, or invest in
expensive local computer servers to use a CFD-based data center modeling tool,”
Bemis said. „With CoolSim, users can leverage the same technology used in the
aerospace and automotive markets at a fraction of the cost of ‚local processing
only’ solutions. Using the CoolSim subscription model, occasional users can
select a plan that meets their specific usage needs.”
