RadTherm is equipped with everything but your surface mesh: pre-processing for conductivity and mesh normals, boundary condition set up, an optimized thermal solver, and post processor / results viewer. With minimal effort you can analyze conduction, multibounce radiation, and convection (steady-state or transient). All functions are integrated into one carefully designed graphical user interface allowing users to analyze designs very quickly and accurately.
RadTherm's highly-optimized algorithms handle even the most complex heat transfer questions. Written entirely in portable C++, RadTherm maintains speed and file compatibility across platforms. A state-of-the-art voxel-based ray tracer is used to compute radiation view factors and solar projected (apparent) areas. This ray tracer provides the fastest radiation exchange solver on the market.
What can RadTherm Heat Transfer Software do for you?
Answer Thermal Design Questions:
- Deliver solutions to comprehensive heat transfer management problems. RadTherm is a professional thermal modeling program that predicts the full temperature distribution of your product or system. From these results, you can modify your design and test the system's heat transfer response to the change. For example, active and passive cooling can be tested for cost-benefit analysis.
- Complete thermal solution. Solve for conduction, radiation, and convection in both steady-state and transient conditions.
- State-of-the-art Speed. RadTherm is the industry benchmark for speed, accuracy, and flexibility. Faster setup and heat transfer analysis save you time and money. This translates into better customer focus and quicker time to market for you.
- Flexibility. Import your surface geometry and change designs with ease. Manipulate the geometry within RadTherm to improve your heat management design.
- Integrate with CFD. Seamless integration with CFD results from major CFD applications, such as Fluent, Star-CD, and Vectis.

How Does RadTherm differ from Wintherm?
RadTherm is designed for large-scale system-level thermal analysis. RadTherm handles very large models (limited only by your computer resources), whereas WinTherm is restricted to 20,000 thermal nodes (typically 10,000 elements). RadTherm also has advanced features which allow large models to be solved faster. Examples of these features are:
- Radiation patches can be assigned to groups of elements—near planar elements share radiation exchange calculations.
- Adaptive solution relaxation—a numerical technique for automatically tuning the solver routine.
- Import convection data from 3rd party computational fluid dynamics (CFD)software.
- Interpolated assigned temperatures: this imposes a smooth 3-D temperature gradient across a part with minimum temperature inputs—used to generate part temperatures from thermocouple point data.
- Batch Mode—execute multiple solves from the command line.
- TDF Library for interfacing directly with your own pre or post processors.
