Thermals affect us everyday, even without us knowing. Heat transfer is just a form of energy transfer. We’re busy people and move energy around all the time. When you start thinking thermally, you begin to recognize heat flow in the things you do. Something we do all the time is eat. And to eat we need

What are “Thermal Contours”? Thermal contours are a way to color code a surface to represent different values. In Aavid Genie, you’ll see a rotatable 3D version in your Simulation Results page and isometric views on the Summary page and the downloadable thermal report. These contours represent temperature values. You may have experienced contours already
