Product Details

General purpose thermo-fluid analysis system with structured mesh


Introduced over thirty years ago, scSTREAM has serviced the electronics and architectural industries by providing high accuracy and high efficiency CFD solutions. During this time scSTREAM has mainly been characterized by its overwhelming user-friendly interfaces and implementation of a structured Cartesian mesh.

A structured mesh is simple, easy to construct, and fast to solve. This mesh is comprised of many small cuboids. It is most useful for applications where tiny details and surface curvature do not have a strong effect on the overall flow field. Applications that benefit from a structured mesh include: electronics cooling, HVAC, and architecture.



Software Features

User-friendly Condition Wizard

Wizard driven analysis conditions provide an easy to learn approach to setting up and performing a CFD simulation.





Reduced Need for Geometry Cleaning

Using a structured mesh, models can quickly and easily be converted into a computational domain without the needed model preparation that is typical of an unstructured mesh.




Robust and Near-instantaneous Meshing

scSTREAM uses a structured Cartesian mesh. Structured meshes are composed of many small cuboids, so it is very easy and quick to construct. In applications where attention to tiny details and curved surfaces do not have a strong effect on the simulation a structured mesh becomes very beneficial.




Reduced Computational time

For a Cartesian mesh, each element face normal are aligned with the axis’s, making the calculation faster by reducing the number of calculations needed to determine the flux.



Moving Mesh

Flow generated from moving objects can be considered during translation, rotation, or elastic deformation of an object. The mesh of the moving object is created separately from the stationary mesh, this makes moving an object large distances computationally inexpensive.


Dedicated Functions for Architecture and Electronic Industries

scSTREAM interfaces directly with BIM 2.0 Autodesk® Revit® and GRAPHISOFT ARCHICAD. This allows for direct part targeting and the part tree can be kept and simplified. IFC format can be imported directly.

In addition to architecture there is a tool designed specifically designed to create precise electrical circuit components. After specifying design parameters, Electronic Parts Maker can consider various semiconductor packages such as: QFP, SOP, and BGA. Both Delphi and Two-Resistor modeling are also included.
