Fermi thermal-optimization workflow
Executive summary
Fermi helps thermal engineers move from messy CAD to useful simulation results in minutes, not days. The workflow is intended for teams working on power electronics, battery systems, electronics cooling, and compact hardware where every geometry change can reopen the simulation setup process.
The objective is to remove the operational work around CAD cleanup, case construction, meshing, solver setup, and result packaging so engineers can spend more time on mission-critical tasks.
Workflow
Fermi keeps the setup path short so engineers can spend more time testing assumptions and improving the design.
- Submit geometry and automate cleanup. Start from enclosure CAD, a board layout, a thermal assembly, or an existing mesh. Fermi removes nonessential detail, identifies thermal regions, and prepares the model for simulation.
- Set up the physics cases. Seamlessly handle materials, heat loads, fans, boundary conditions, and solver configuration.
- Run, compare, and interpret results. Launch studies, compare design variants, and see whether a design changes actually improve the thermal path. Get bottlenecks, likely causes, sensitivities, and recommended next checks instead of another raw data dump.

Simulation setup is consuming the engineering day.
Engineers spend too much time moving between CAD, meshing tools, solver settings, scripts, screenshots, and status windows.
Engineering time
You became an engineer to understand how things work. Not to wait on brittle desktop software, rebuild setup steps after every geometry change, or spend hours on manual CAD cleanup and meshing. Fermi automates the operational work around simulation so engineers can spend more time on engineering.
Fermi competes with the ways simulation gets avoided.
| Default path | What it costs |
| External consultancies | Outsources the learning loop your engineering org should own. |
| Waiting to hire more specialists | Slows the team down while the talent pool remains limited. |
| Manual CAD-mesh-solver workflows | Burns senior engineering time on operational work instead of thermal reasoning. |
| Skipping simulation | Feels faster until failures, delayed launches, and expensive physical iteration arrive. |
Pilot intake
Start with the engineering question, not a sales call. Share the thermal decision, relevant operating conditions, and optional geometry or assembly files. If the geometry is sensitive, request an NDA before review.
