SC.STREAM.HEAT.DESIGNER.11.0
SOFTWARE.CRADLE.V11scSTREAM and SC/TetraCradle offers two different types of thermo-fluid analysis tools: scSTREAM (and HeatDesigner for electronics cooling) and SC/Tetra. scSTREAM and HeatDesigner use structured meshes while SC/Tetra uses an unstructured mesh. A structured mesh is simple, easy to construct, and fast to solve. This mesh is comprised of many small cuboids so it can only approximate curved or angled surfaces. It is most useful for applications where tiny details and surface curvature or angles do not have a strong effect on the overall flow field. Examples of applications for structured mesh include electronics cooling, HVAC, and architecture. An unstructured mesh contains more complex element shapes (tetrahedron, pentahedron, and hexahedron). These elements provide a flexible way to represent curved surfaces. As...
