ThermoAnalytics TAITherm 12.1.1ThermoAnalytics, Inc., a leading provider of thermal and infrared simulation software and services, announce the release of Taitherm (ex-Radtherm) version 12.0, is the industry’s most complete and flexible thermal modeling program, one that predicts the full range of temperature distribution in your product or system. TAITherm applies a multi-physics approach to solve for thermal conduction, radiation, and convection under both steady-state and transient conditions. Nearly twenty years ago the ThermoAnalytics’ founders created a radiation-only solver, aptly named RadTherm. In the past two decades this software has evolved to include all of the different modes of heat transfer: radiation, conduction, convection, as well as advection. As we launch version 12.0, the latest release of our software suite, it is...
