Easy-to-Use CFD for Electronics Design
IntroductionA CFD thermal simulation tool specifically designed
for the electronics industryFuture Facilities have a rich heritage
in developing market leading CFD simulation tools6SigmaET:Used by
engineers from across the world, including Cisco, Selex ES, and
Thales Solves for conduction, convection and radiation6SigmaET uses
Future Facilities powerful proprietary solver

Conclusion6SigmaET is designed exclusively for thermal
simulation of electronics equipment and components6SigmaET is
intuitive and easy to useThe powerful solver can handle complex
geometry and detailed modelsBuilt-in intelligence reduces the time
it takes to build your model Complex tasks like grid generation are
automaticImporting PCB design and Mechanical CAD is simpleWe are
continuously developing 6SigmaET 6SigmaET Demo
