Heat sinks and conduction pads can be installed on components. Thermal screws can be fastened to the board with a few mouse clicks. The program works with libraries of unlimited size. Aerodynamic characteristics, such as lift and drag, can be analyzed along with handling qualities, vehicle configurations, and aerodynamic performance. Altia Design 2.0 imports CAD files to create interactive computer-based prototypes that simulate and test the product models.
Users can create prototypes without learning or using a programming or scripting language.
In addition, users who do not have Altia Design can view and interact with prototypes without paying royalties or additional license fees. STRE analyzes such changes and reports their effect on unit output, steam flow, and efficiency. STRE also determines the effects of plugging extractions on a used turbine for repowering with a gas turbine, removing stages for increased flow, operating temporarily with a row of blades missing, and accommodating changes in exhaust pressure as well as in inlet steam pressure and temperature due to repowering.
