Viability of CREO Simulate : (CAD software’s module) as a thermal simulation software

Abstract: The analysis of the reliability of CREO simulate will be done step by step. First of all, the precisionof the simulation has to be measured thus a comparison with simple theoretical computations willbe done. Then, the scope of the capacity of the software will be analyzed and if elements deemednecessary to thermal simulations are missing, back up solutions are to be found. Also, the influenceof the meshing will be studied and measured to ensure that the software guarantee convergence evenin the hand of persons unfamiliar with simulations.In parallel, one will experiment with realistic hardware that could be used to compare reality withthe simulations. Those experiments will be handmade using regular materials from the company.
