Electronics Enclosure Analysis with CFX

Simulation Engineer · April 21, 2009, 15:14

I am a ANSYS Icepak user for almost 4 years and am now asked to use CFX in my new position to analyze electronics cooling designs. I also have used Cfdesign and MAYA to do analysis - but there is no option other than CFX at my present company.

My question is are there any users out there using CFX to analyze electronics enclosures with fans and many circuits cards etc?? If so - how do you feel about CFX to do this type of analysis?

I am now 5 weeks into the CFX learning curve so I apologize in advance if my question is basic - but responses to this question in a search turned into a promotion for either Icepak and Flotherm and did not really answer the question about CFX.

Hi..I am into Electronics Cooling as well and am using FloEFD. I am looking for more information on applying fans in push-pull configurations. Just wondered whether you have come across any forums for general electronics cooling or fans.

Thanks in advance.
