Mentor Graphics FloTHERM XT 3.3
FloTHERMXT是針對電子產品設計流程所需的散熱模擬分析解決方案，可以從概念設計到後續的生產製造階段皆可使用，可以提升產品的品質，可靠度及縮短上市時間。藉由整合EDA及MCAD設計流程，FloTHERMXT可以讓工程師使用相同的設計資料進行完整的散熱模擬分析，大大縮短研發時程，有效節省成本。
FloTHERMXT作為業內首個結合MDA­EDA的電子散熱仿真解決方案，相對於傳統仿真軟件具有獨特的技術優勢：
1.在概念階段開始仿真，仿真貫穿整個設計過程。
FloTHERM®XT是一款從概念設計覆蓋至設計驗證價段的電子散熱軟件
2.縮小了EDA/MDA協同工作的間隙
3.直觀的基於對象的網格技術、收斂性好、可定製的GUI、建模功能強大
4.源自兩個成功軟件的DNA:FloTHERM和FloEFD
5.設計工程師和熱學工程師都可使用
