Applied Math Modeling Inc., a provider of data center design optimization software, announced CoolSim 4.2 – the next revision of the company’s popular modeling software. As the industry’s only cloud-based implementation, CoolSim 4.2 continues to add important ease-of-use and modeling features.
“CoolSim 4.2 is laying the foundation for data center design optimization by allowing multiple design scenarios to be set up and submitted for analysis concurrently. This key feature allows CoolSim users to consider multiple designs from one base model,” said Paul Bemis, CEO of Applied Math Modeling. “Using CoolSim 4.2, users can now combine the power of parametric variation with the cost effectiveness of Cloud Computing to drive down simulation time and cost while increasing user productivity.”
Coolsim 4.2允许用户快速设置一个模型，该模型在多个方案中都来自一个模型。供应空气温度，质量流量和冷却
单位开/关状态都可以从一个简单的表中更改。此关键功能使Coolsim用户可以同时提交多个设计变体，从而大大减少了执行单个模拟的时间，就像其他竞争解决方案一样。
“Unlike other data center design tools that require users to wait for the results of one simulation prior to submitting another, CoolSim allows multiple simulations to be submitted
同时，通过数量级来加速设计优化，” Bemis说。
“使用Coolsim 4.2，在为给定数据中心环境选择最佳设计之前，用户可以自由考虑更多的设计替代方案。”
Key features of CoolSim 4.2 include:
- Cooling Parameter Variation: This feature allows users to turn set up multiple design studies from one model, with control over cooling air flowrate, supply air temperature as well as on/off state.
- 网格融合稳定性和求解器收敛的改进：Coolsim用户会注意到，除了新的HPC群集外，这些改进还将大大减少执行模拟所需的时间。
- 用户生产率的提高，包括新的“快照”功能，可以快速地对齐几何形状，使风管的创建和易于创建和型号的地板障碍物的创建。
- COOLSIM自动化后处理的改进，允许用户对输出报告的定向控制。可以自定义报告，以为用户提供温度和压力轮廓，气流流线和动画的变化。
Coolsim 4.2基于一个全新的模型构建环境，该环境通过允许在多个并发视图中构建模型来提高用户生产率。因此数据中心
model can be constructed using both 2D and 3D views at the same time. The option to use multiple display monitors is also supported, offering additional on-screen real estate for
建立数据中心的更准确的表示。
Once built, the model is automatically submitted to a hosted high-performance computing (HPC) cluster for processing using ANSYS®/FLUENT (CFD) technology. After the simulation
is complete, HTML output reports and 3D visual images are produced and sent to the user. This mechanism allows users to perform multiple “what-if” studies of their data centers to determine the optimal placement of existing equipment, evaluate new or alternative designs, or visualize the effect of adding new equipment to an existing room.
行业唯一的SaaS模型
应用数学建模继续通过使用托管软件作为服务（SAAS）模型提供Coolsim来继续降低客户的总持有成本（TCO），该模型包括
software and the computational capacity to perform the complex CFD calculations.
“No longer do users have to pay the high annual license fees, or invest in expensive local computer servers to use a CFD based data center modeling tool,” Bemis said. “With CoolSim, users can leverage the same technology used in the aerospace and automotive markets at a fraction of the cost of ‘local processing only’ solutions.” By using the CoolSim 4 subscription model, occasional users can select a usage plan that meets their specific needs.
