concord, n.h., june 2014 – applied math modeling inc., a leading provider of data center designoptimization software, announced today coolsim 4.3–the next revision of the company’s popular modeling software. as the industry’s only cloud-based solution, coolsim 4.3 continues to add important ease-of-useand modeling features for data center design optimization.

“coolsim 4.3 represents significant improvements in both user experience, as well as modelingcapabilities,” said paul bemis, ceo of applied math modeling. “using coolsim4.3, users are now able to build models faster, and with greater fidelity, than ever before while leveraging the cost effectiveness ofcloud computing to drive down simulation time and cost. ”coolsim 4.3 adds an array of new featuresincluding:

• quickly defining rack level details including gaps and servers to the 1u level of detail.
• new techniques for rapid selections of data center objects.
• ability to group geometry and replicate groups multiple times with offsets in any dimension for rapid creation of data center layouts.
• a “power view” allowing users to visually represent rack power density in 3d.
• the addition of cylindrical fansto any cooling unit for enhanced modeling fidelity.
• exposure of fan curve support for modeling high pressure containment designs.
• an enhanced object component library system including updates from the leading data center manufacturers including emerson power, stulz, tate and schnieder electric
• the ability for users to create their own library items and store them for use latter.
• a pre-simulation report that allows users to review model input data in one report, allowing users to make changes to input parameters from within the report.

these new features allow users to rapidly set up modeling scenarios and submit them to the coolsim hpc computing system for quick turn-around. existing coolsim users will find these new features speed up the modeling process, while new coolsim users will find the learning curve for coolsim to be minimal.

“coolsim was designed from the ground up to meet the needs of users who don’t have the time to climb asteep learning curve,” said bemis. “coolsim 4.3 continues this tradition by adding a significant amount offeatures aimed at speeding up the model building and simulation process, allowing users to analyze manymore design alternatives prior to selecting the optimal design for a given data center environment.”

coolsim 4.3 is based upon an all new model building environment, which improves user productivity byallowing models to be built in multiple concurrent views. thus the data center model can be constructedusing both 2d and 3d views at the same time. the option to usemultiple display monitors is alsosupported, offering additional on-screen real estate for building more accurate representations of the datacenter. 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 performmultiple “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 datacenter.
