Veritrek is a software developed by the thermal team at Redwire as a companion tool for Thermal Desktop. Veritrek allows for faster, more effective exploration the user’s thermal models by leveraging the power of reduced-order models (ROMs). Utilizing ROMs reduces the time and effort it takes thermal teams to analyze and visualize their design space, saving both time and money on more optimized design solutions.
The demonstration session will be an overview of Veritrek and some case studies utilizing the tool.

Mainstream Eng Corp
Wednesday 9:30am – 11:30am
Demonstration of ONYX-Thermal – A New Concept for General Purpose Heat Transfer Software
Mainstream has launched an internal RD effort to develop a general purpose commercial heat transfer solver called ONYX-Thermal. Leading off the demonstration, Mainstream will present an overview of the ONYX development history, a overview of the software architecture, and longer term development plans. After the introduction, a lively demonstration will be made of ONYX and current features. The goal of this demonstration will be to illustrate that ONYX is capable of 1) fast model construction, 2) fast solver speed, 3) insensitivity to user input error, and 4) a streamlined user interface (UI) to enhance overall user experience (UX). We plan on taking impromptu queries from the audience to attempt more complex simulations on the fly to help reinforce our development goals stated above.

Vendor Hands On Courses
MathWorks
Monday 9:30am – 11:30am
Introduction to Simscape Fluids. In this tutorial, we introduce how to build and parameterize a Simscape Fluids™ model for a liquid cooling system based on a small set of requirements. We show the recommended procedures for building test harnesses for and sizing components, parameterizing the various elements from known data, e.g., dimensions, data sheets, etc., and implementing rudimentary controls for the system. It is intended as a reference for learning Simscape Fluids and understanding how to approach system-level thermal design.

COMSOL Inc.
Tuesday 9:30am – 11:30am
Introduction to Using COMSOL Multiphysics® for Thermal and Fluid Simulations
Get started with the modeling workflow in the COMSOL Multiphysics software during a hands-on web workshop. We will begin with an overview of the functionality in the software for simulating heat transfer and fluid dynamics. Then, we will walk you through how to build a model from scratch using the COMSOL Multiphysics software — and you can follow along from your own computer using a free trial. You will leave the event with new skills that can be applied when working on your own models and applications.
You are welcome to ask questions via the chat feature at any point during the workshop or save them for the Q&A session at the end.

Thermal Software System (TSS) v17 Rev B Hands-on Class –
Hands on demonstration of using Thermal Software System (TSS) to build a class project. The purpose of the class is to educate the end-user to do spacecraft thermal analysis. The process starts with Transferring existing CAD data into TSS, building additional Geometry and defining optical and material properties. The user’s spacecraft class example is then thermally analyzed by calculating radiation conductors (Radk), calculating external heating rates (Heatrate) from the Sun and Earth from a defined orbit (Orbit), and calculating a conduction and capacitance network (Concap). The calculated inputs are then combined to produce a thermal math model and run in a finite-difference solver, SindaWin. The results are presented as temperature vs. time plots (XYPlot) and mapping the temperature data on to the 3D model (Geometry). The XYPlot data is written to a comma separated value (csv) file to export to spreadsheets.
