UNIFRAX Heat Flow Analysis by ID Design and Drafting
UNIFRAX Heat Flow Analysis is a specialized tool for simulating and optimizing heat transfer in components, assemblies, and multilayer systems. Built for engineers and designers who need fast, trustworthy insights into thermal performance, it streamlines the process from model setup to decision-ready results—helping you diagnose hot spots, select insulation strategies, and validate design choices before prototyping.
Key capabilities:
- Heat transfer modeling: steady-state and transient analysis with conduction at the core, plus support for convection and surface radiation boundary conditions.
- Multilayer and composite stacks: evaluate complex assemblies, contact/interface resistances, and thermal bridges.
- Material properties: start with a configurable materials library and define temperature-dependent conductivity and specific heat as needed.
- Flexible geometry: create cross-sections with built-in drawing tools and assign regions, boundaries, and constraints with clarity.
- Boundary conditions: fixed temperature, heat flux, convection film coefficients, and emissivity-based radiation.
- Visualization and results: temperature contours, isotherms, heat-flux vectors, and point probes; compute heat loss/gain, U-values, and temperature gradients.
- Parametric studies: compare scenarios, run sweeps, and rank alternatives to converge on optimal thicknesses, materials, and interfaces.
- Reporting: export clean, annotated figures and structured data to share with stakeholders.
Typical uses:
- Insulation design and comparison across materials and thicknesses
- Thermal bridging assessment in mechanical parts and building details
- Hot-spot mitigation in enclosures, housings, and process equipment
- Early-stage concept screening and cost/performance trade-offs
With an intuitive workflow and clear visual feedback, UNIFRAX Heat Flow Analysis helps you turn thermal questions into confident engineering decisions.
