Simulation, modeling and consulting

Our thermal analysis services cover the full product development lifecycle from concept to production. We combine CFD and FEA-based thermal simulation with onsite lab validation to give clients a complete picture of thermal performance before hardware is built. AES believes in simulation-driven design and delivers very competitive quality at cost-effective rates.

• Thermal and mechanical simulation including CFD and FEA
• Onsite thermal lab validation and test support
• Heatsink design and optimization
• Thermal management consulting services
• Cost reduction and thermal performance improvement studies
• Thermal design calculations including insulation, stress, heat and mass balance

Airflow and HVAC simulation

Data centers are among the most energy-intensive facilities in operation. Our thermal simulation services help HVAC engineers observe airflow variations, determine flow distribution, and optimize air temperature and flow rates to reduce cooling costs. AES engineers have deep hands-on experience with data center thermal challenges across hyperscale and enterprise environments.

• Data center airflow and thermal CFD simulation
• Hot aisle and cold aisle containment analysis
• HVAC system design and air temperature optimization
• Rack-level and room-level thermal modeling
• Power usage effectiveness (PUE) improvement studies
• Cooling infrastructure cost reduction analysis

TAPP testing and TDP validation

Testing is an integral part of the product development lifecycle. Our thermal testing services cover the full TAPP process — Thermal, Airflow, Power, and Performance — with outcomes including Thermal Design Power (TDP), flow rate, pressure drop, and Sound Pressure Level (SPL) data. AES has supported electronics and semiconductor clients with thermal testing for over a decade.

• TAPP (Thermal, Airflow, Power and Performance) testing
• Thermal Design Power (TDP) characterization
• Flow rate and pressure drop measurement
• Sound Pressure Level (SPL) testing with ECMA-74 standards
• Simulation-to-test model correlation and calibration
• Numerical simulation data validation

Material fatigue and stress resistance

Rapid temperature changes expose weaknesses that standard testing misses. Our thermal testing services for thermal shock and hot/cold cycling identify material fatigue, evaluate thermal expansion and contraction behavior, and validate sealing and joining integrity across a wide range of product types and industries.

• Simulating rapid temperature changes for thermal shock testing
• Identification of weaknesses and failure modes
• Assessment of thermal stress resistance
• Mimicking real-world temperature fluctuations in hot/cold cycling
• Evaluation of thermal expansion and contraction behavior
• Validation of sealing and joining integrity
