=== '''FLOTHERM - What types of questions should be asked prior to purchasing a CFD Tool?''' ===
+
-
 
+
-
Support - In evaluating thermal analysis software for electronic systems, it is imperative for the user to have ready access to technical support from the supplier.
+
-
 
+
-
Computational mesh - Does the meshing technique of this software lead to the most efficient, speedy solution for the kind of problems I need to solve? How quick and easy is it to create the computational grid?
+
-
 
+
-
Solution features - Is it possible to view variables of interest – the temperatures of critical components, for example – while the solution is converging? Early indication of the solution can facilitate swift decisions, speeding up the design process.
+
-
 
+
-
Results - How does the software present the generated results? Can I output data in both tabular and 3D graphical form?

=== '''FLOTHERM - What are the 7.1 System Requirements?''' ===
+
-
 
+
-
FLOTHERM v7.1 is available on the Microsoft Windows and Sun Solaris operating systems. Advanced solver support, parallel thermal solver and 64-bit thermal solver, are also available on these platforms.
+
-
 
+
-
FLOTHERM is partially available on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Support on this platform is limited to following components: Thermal Solver, Exchange Factor Generator (EFG), Volunteer GUI and Volunteer daemon.
