Advanced flow simulation

Flow

Advanced flow simulation

shonTA 3.0 extends beyond incompressible flow to compressible and two-phase calculations, spanning cooling systems, HVAC, marine pipelines and petrochemical applications.
  • Coolant flow in battery and motor systems
  • Refrigerant phase changes in HVAC systems
  • Fuel transport in marine applications
  • Pressure loss in petrochemical pipelines
New in 3.0

Multi-objective parameter optimization

Automatically discover optimal design solutions. Choose from multiple algorithms and define complex objectives to reach the best engineering outcome.
  • Apply PSO and Genetic Algorithm optimizers
  • Define custom objectives with flexible math functions
  • Set equality constraints for dependent parameters
  • Identify optimal designs from Pareto-front results

Subsystem management

Scale

Subsystem management

Break complex systems into manageable subsystems for efficient modelling and reuse. Powerful management tools help you organise, navigate and debug large-scale thermal models.
  • Encapsulate modules for independent testing and reuse
  • Expose subsystem ports for information transfer
  • Search components quickly with intelligent lookup
  • Unified 2D / 3D pre- and post-processing
Joint modelling with shonMesh and shonDy
New in 3.0

Joint modelling with shonMesh and shonDy

shonTA 3.0 automatically generates its 1D-3D thermal coupling model from shonDy models and results, and reads 3D geometry from shonMesh to complete the parameter settings of 1D components, making model creation faster and more accurate.
