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 modelling case. Reusable templates handle materials, heat loads, fans, boundary conditions, and solver configuration.
- Run simulations, compare, and interpret. 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.
By the time the model finally runs, there is less time left for the part that matters: deciding what to simulate, what the results mean, and what to do next.
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. |
| Fermi is the internal workflow layer for teams that want simulation to become a repeatable design habit. | |
Pilot intake
The recommended first step is an NDA-gated use-case submission. Please share your engineering question, relevant operating conditions, and optional geometry or assembly files before scheduling a working session.
- Submit use case. Describe the engineering decision the team needs to make.
- Attach files if appropriate. Geometry, mesh, screenshots, logs, and boundary-condition notes can be added.
- Book a working session. Once the case is scoped, we'll schedule a call to review inputs, constraints, and success criteria.
