Cradle announces the release of SC/Tetra, scSTREAM, and HeatDesigner Version 12 (V12) CFD software.
SC/Tetra is general purpose, unstructured grid CFD software used when accurate geometrical representation is critical to the design solution. SC/Tetra V12 contains many new features including:
- Single pitch shape extraction for centrifugal pumps that signficantly reduces calculation time and cost
- An optional Smart Blades tool that can parametrically create, solve, and postprocess axial fan designs
- Automated parametric studies
- Shape optimization using the Adjoint Method that can be used to optimize geometrical shape to minimize or maximize force, e.g. determining the optimized aerodynamic shape to minimize drag force
- HeatPathView to visually display energy flows and heat balances in a thermal system
- and much more.

scSTREAM is general purpose, structured grid CFD software used when exact geometry details do not strongly influence the overall flow field. HeatDesigner is specially designed structure grid CFD software for electronics cooling. New V12 features for scSTREAM/HeatDesigner include:
- Expanded capabilities for the cut cell function that slices off portions of cartesian elements to more accurately simulate non-cartesian geometries. One of the new capabilities in V12 enable improved prediction of flow separation. Another enables cut cell to be used with multiblock
- Enhanced radiation capabilites to accomodate diffuse transmittance
- Improved particle tracking including particle adhesion to moving objects, conversion to condensate, and particle tracking in a multiblock mesh
- scSTREAM/HeatDesigner now supports Unicode that eliminates garbled text no matter what language setting is used
- and much more
