The new Mechanical Analysis Division of Mentor Graphics is a world leader in the computer simulation of engineering design processes involving heat transfer and fluid flow simulation. Our customers eliminate mistakes, reduce costs, and accelerate and optimize their designs by applying our simulation software and consultancy services before building physical prototypes. With advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, we help increase efficiency in your mechanical design process, saving valuable time and money. Our approach to engineering analysis is drastically different from traditional analysis companies because our software is designed to be embedded deeply into the design process and used by mainstream design engineers, not only by analysis specialists. Our software products and services are based around three distinct lines of business: Electronics Cooling We are the clear market leader in thermal simulation of electronic equipment, with a client list including virtually all the major electronics companies in the world. Our FloTHERM product family provides an integrated suite of software tools for thermal analysis of complete electronic systems, circuit boards, and individual IC packages. Our software removes communication barriers between electrical and mechanical engineers enabling fast resolution of thermal management problems that are traditionally difficult, expensive and time-consuming to resolve. Customers achieve significant cost reductions and design cycle compression through using our software either as point solutions or as an integrated suite. Through our MicReD subsidiary we offer thermal testing equipment that complements the software simulation business. Our "ElectronicsCooling” magazine has a global circulation of over 12,000 subscribers and is firmly established as the premier trade magazine for all aspects of thermal management in the electronics industries. Engineering Fluid Dynamics Our EFD product family is a different breed of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software that enables mechanical design engineers to analyze and optimize complex fluid flow and heat transfer processes across a wide range of products and industries. 7 key technologies distinguish the EFD product family from traditional CFD software, making it quicker and easier to use, more robust, and more accurate. The EFD product family is tightly embedded with leading 3D mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) software such as SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER and CATIA V5. In the case of SolidWorks, the product is sold through the SolidWorks sales channel under the brand name COSMOSFloWorks. Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) Our FloVENT software predicts 3D airflow, heat transfer and contamination distribution in and around buildings of all types and sizes. The software is tailored for building designers, with an easy-to-use menu system developed specifically for the design and optimization of heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. Our EFD software is also widely used in the HVAC industry for optimizing the performance of products such as air handling units, refrigeration units, heaters, etc. International Offices In order to provide the best possible service to all our customers, we are committed to establishing local sales and support offices and dedicated agents around the world. This strategy has been vitally important in building international sales and maintaining global market leadership.
