What is SIMU-THERM ?
SIMU-THERM is a heat transfer calculation software developed for refractory design.Due to the precise mathematical modelling of the heat transfer process it is also appropriate for all kinds of high temperature applications. The initial program was written in 1989-/90based on the author’s experience in refractory design and thermal computation.Today it is improved continually in close contact with renowned companies using SIMU-THERM every day.
SIMU-THERM 7.1 is a self explaining Windows program. Thus it is suitable for occasional users as well as fast working experienced users. SIMU-THERM’s print forms can be adapted to the user’s corporate layout.
Adaption of logos, comments etc. is included in delivery and can be modified easily later by the user The software is available in English and German. The documentation is available in English only.
Requirements
Unlike earlier versions SIMU-THERM 6.5 and higher is independent of MS Office. Acrobat Reader is necessary for using the PDF documentation.
The SIMU-THERM “philosophy“
There used to be no possibility of performing advanced thermal calculations for a refractory engineer because no affordable software was available.
Thus SIMU-THERM is dedicated to these goals:
- Deliver high quality software for advanced thermal calculation
at reasonable prices - Simplifying the handling of this software in order to allow the common
usage of these methods
Even the first release of SIMU-THERM in 1990 (for MS DOS) included transient calculation and a comfortable dialog based user interface. Today the Finite Element interface enables the user to perform multidimensional computations within 15 minutes.
The present module structure
Today SIMU-THERM consists of a basic program and several expansion modules. The base program is a high end heat transfer program allowing steady state and transient calculations.
Features of the base program:
- Steady state and transient calculation up to 30 wall layers
- Heat transfer coefficients calculated according to ASTM680 (1986 and 2004), VDI heat atlas.
- Air gap layers: calculation for static air and free or forced air flow. Calculation includes the heat transfer across the gap by thermal radiation.
- Impact of combustion atmosphere and heat bridges on heat conductivity
- Material management system in including a collection of basic refractory material classes.
Easy input and retrieval of your own materials.
Supports the use of alias names and multilingual names for materials. - Print forms can easily be altered. 4 predefined print forms, each in printable English, German, French, Italian, Spanish. More languages are easy to add.
The expansion modules can be added to the base program in any order. They provide advanced calculation methods for different purposes.

Transient expansion module
In version Simu-Therm 7.1 the transient simulation module includes the following expansion modules:
Languages
The following languages are supported by simutherm | English |  | Deutsch |  | Francais | |||
 | Italiano |  | Espanol |
PE Process Engineering package
PE Process Engineering expansionThis expansion provides simulation of special heat transfer conditions both on the hot and cold side.
It is based on a formula interface intended to add easily calculation formulas for heat transfer coeffi-cients. The calculation is bases on an individual set of parameters for each of the formulas. In this way the software can be customized to new requirements without changes in the core parts of the calculation algorithms. All formulas can be used in steady state and in transient simulation.
In SIMU-THERM 6.5 the following heat transfer calculation are available:
AIRDUCT – convective heat transfer in air channel
WATDUCT – convective heat transfer in water channel
WATFILM – convective heat transfer under a falling water film
RADIAT – thermal radiation plus a fixed convective component
GASHEAT0 – heating with limited burner capacity, flame temperature known
GASHEAT – heating with limited burner capacity, gas exit temperature known
GASCOOL – cooling with a small air flow on the hot face
AIRDUCT application sample
 |  |
WATDUCT application sample
 |  |
In the panels water of 50 °C is flowing with velocity
1 m/s. The length of the water flow is 10 m.
RADIAT application sample
 |  |
Simulation result: the maximum inside temperature is reached after about 1 hour.
GASHEAT application sample
 |  |
Heating up a furnace is performed with 20 kW gas burner capacity per square meter wall.
Due to the limitation of the burner capacity, there is a large difference between the flame tempera-ture and the surface temperature. Note that the curve of the inside surface temperature has become very smooth.
Air or gas spaces in refractory walls
Air or gas spaces in refractory walls
SIMU-THERM simulates three heat transfer effects in cavities
- thermal radiation across the cavity
- circular gas convection
- conduction due to thermal conductivity of the gas
In SIMU-THERM static gaps (=enclosed cavities, no entry for fresh air) may contain
- ambient air
- gas with given components (e.g. with hydrogen)
- gas or air pressure from vacuum to reactor pressure
SIMU-THERM can simulate continuous air flow under protection shrouds or other air spaces with inflow and outflow of ambient air. Air flow can be forced or driven by thermal air uplift. SIMU-THERM treats the air gap as a special kind of wall layer. The surface temperatures on both sides of the gap and the air outflow temperature are calculated.
Air flow sample 1
Contact protection shroud around a furnace part. Air flow driven by natural convection (thermal uplift)
In order to optimize the temperature of the protection shroud, the width of the air space can be varied easily because it is just one of the wall layers.
Air temperature and shroud temperature are shown for the air entry, air outlet and for the middle of the flow path.
The flow velocity is decelerated by two beams narrowing the available cross section .
Air flow sample 2
Rain protection shroud around a transportation tube for hot gas.
In SIMU-THERM a separate heat loss calculation is made for the covered part of the tube. The flow velocity is decelerated by the fact that the cross section of the outlet is smaller than the cross section of the two branches of the air space around the tube.
Static air or gas spaces
A heat loss calculation in SIMU-THERM may contain several layers formed by static gaps filled with air or other gas. The pressure of air or gas is an input parameter The composition of the gas is chosen from 10 standard components. In wide gaps and low pressure the major heat transportation comes from thermal radiation, depending on the surface emissivities on both sides of the gap. Normally the emissivities are static input values. If a wide temperature range is covered, e.g. for high temperature radiation sheet insulation, emissivities can be given as temperature dependent curves.
In case of high gas pressure and large share of hydrogen in the gas the circular convection in the gas space can contribute the largest part of heat transportation. A factor for the circular convection can be input according to the location in space.
Static air space sample 1
Emissivity of polished
molybdenum from
0 °C to 2500 °C
Thermal insulation of a vacuum furnace consisting of 10 vacuum spaces (each 5 mm) between polished molybdenum sheets. Heat bridges not included. The air space at the water cooled side has a significantly higher thermal resistance because the emissivity of molybdenum is very low at 82 °C (=surface temperature). If available, several emissivity curves of a metal (e.g. polished, sand blasted, oxidized) can be stored in the material data base. For both sides of an air gap one of the emissivity curves of the bordering materials can be selected.

Simu-Therm cannot be bought online, because it is licensed individually for each customer. For this we need name and address of your company and, if you are resident in the European Union, the valid VAT-ID of the company.
If you intend to buy Simu-Therm, please just advise in an email which modules and the number of licenses you want, and include the company data as mentioned.
Payment
Bank transfer is preferred, cheque is also possible. Invoice is issued in printable PDF file or by post, if required
Delivery and license
Simu-Therm is delivered by download after receiving the order. You get a download link and an individual license file to run the software. The license file contains and displays the address of your company. The license doesn't expire and doesn't need to be renewed annually.
Upgrades
The price of an upgrade is calculated individually:
Upgrade price = Catalog price - Remaining residual value of earlier licenses
The residual value is decreased 7.5% for every year of software use.
Example:
If you upgrade after 3 years without changing the software configuration, the residual value is
0.925 x 0.925 x 0.925 = 0.791 = 79.1 %.
Then the upgrade price is 100 - 79.1 = 20.9%
