Thermal Desktop is a PC based design environment for generating
thermal models of electronics and vehicles. Using Thermal Desktop,
engineers can use CAD drawings either directly as a thermal model, or
indirectly as scaffolding for fast "snap on" attachment of Thermal
Desktop elements, surfaces, and solids.

Thermal Desktop incorporates both familiar parameter based (TRASYS
like) finite difference surfaces with finite elements with CAD
technology to model thermal problems. Thermal Desktop develops the
capacitance and conductance network for input to SINDA/FLUINT.
Thermal Desktop has thermal analysis specific type of capabilities
such as applying contact conductance, insulation, heat loads, and
heaters.

Thermal Desktop provides full design parameterization using
spreadsheet-like variables and arbitrarily complex expressions as
input, rather than hardwired numbers. This allows complex models to
be rapidly manipulated using a few keystrokes, meaning that updating
or maintaining a model is trivially easy, as is performing
sensitivity studies and investigating what-if scenarios. This
provides access to SINDA/FLUINT's Optimization and Reliability
Engineering modules, which can be used to size components, maximize
performance, find worst-case operating conditions (design cases),
correlate models to test data, and even treat uncertainties
statistically.
