Cabin Simulation Using TAITherm and RapidFlow for Comprehensive Airflow, Thermal, and Comfort Analys

High-fidelity vehicle cabin thermal simulations are essential design tools for evaluating heating and cooling performance, energy efficiency, and occupant thermal comfort. In this webinar, we explore advanced 3D thermal and airflow modeling techniques used to assess cabin comfort, local comfort affectors, and innovative HVAC control strategies across a wide range of vehicle platforms. Accurate cabin analysis often requires transient simulation of all heat transfer modes—conduction, convection, and radiation—both inside and outside the vehicle. Detailed cabin interiors depend on tightly coupled 3D heat transfer and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), particularly during cabin soak, pre-conditioning, warm-up, and cool-down scenarios.

TAITherm and the RapidFlow extension introduce a powerful, efficient approach for vehicle cabin analysis, combining 3D physics-based airflow simulation with automatic thermal–fluid coupling, minimal pre-processing, and a flexible level of modeling detail.

In this webinar, you will learn about:
• Using TAITherm and RapidFlow for high-fidelity vehicle cabin thermal and airflow simulations
• Best practices for cabin soak, pre-conditioning, warm-up, and cool-down analysis
• Evaluating thermal comfort, local comfort affectors, and HVAC performance
• Trade-offs between simulation accuracy and computational efficiency
• How this approach compares and complements traditional thermal-fluid and CFD workflows
• Real-world vehicle cabin simulation examples across different operating conditions

This webinar is ideal for engineers and designers working in automotive thermal management, HVAC design, vehicle energy efficiency, and occupant comfort analysis.
