About

DesignMerge Pro is a professional software suite that has been integrated directly with Adobe InDesign to provide sophisticated variable data printing and data publishing features. The software works with existing InDesign documents using a simple, panel-driven user interface that allows variable elements to be defined anywhere on the page. Everything is point-and-click, and there is no programming language to learn. DesignMerge Pro can merge variable text, pictures, multi-paragraph files, Word documents, MPS Tags, or even full InDesign master page information using data taken from practically any source. For variable graphics, all of the most popular file formats are supported, including JPEG, PNG, PDF, and TIFF just to name a few. The software supports variable element references by filename, or by full path, and includes our unique Global Search Path feature that allows you to store your variable assets separately on any server or accessible storage.

About

Thermal Desktop includes all aspects of model creation. Built-in finite difference, finite element, and lumped capacitance objects can be combined in any configuration. Thermal-specific objects such as contact conductance, insulation, heat loads, and heaters can be added to model anything from automotive components to manned spacecraft. Thermal Desktop provides full parameterization using variables and arbitrarily complex expressions as input rather than hardwired numbers. These variables, called symbols, allow models to be rapidly manipulated with a few keystrokes, meaning updating or maintaining the model is easy, as is performing sensitivity studies and investigating what-if scenarios. This also provides access to SINDA/FLUINT’s optimization and reliability modules and automatic model correlation.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing positive as everything is negative compared to what I used before.

Cons

  • Sorry, but Siemens Simcenter Thermal is by far a superior thermal analysis software. One can hope ANSYS can improve the thermal desktop products within Mechanical Desktop, but I highly doubt it. At our company we were forced to use Thermal Desktop after using NX Thermal for a couple years. Everything in NX is streamlined. You defeature in NX, go to the pre/post where you enter into NX Thermal, create an idealized part(basically a copy of te CAD), and you suppres curves/edges to mesh and then apply material properties, create advection network for the fem file. Also if there are mesh issues you can manually create elements if need be. Then you progress to the sim file where you apply contacts, bc's, map CFD results and setup the model to run. In Thermal Desktop we are forced to use ANSYS Spaceclaim to defeature and then link to Thermal Desktop to mesh through a "blackbox" where you can only control the mesh by apply mesh sizing. A total nightmare if the meshing fails. Also the graphics rendering is absolutely horrible for complex 3-D meshes. Using the space ball to rotate and translate mesh is excruciatingly slow. Opened up a fairly large mesh and just turning on/off layers took a couple hours.
