Thermal requirements keep getting tougher while projects move faster. In that environment, our goal with ColdStream is simple: help you get better thermal designs out of your CFD process in less time, with more confidence.
Here is how we do that, from reliable starting designs to security, validation and support.
1) Access ColdStream’s proven, high-fidelity standard designs
With ColdStream, you don’t start from a blank screen. You hit the ground running from a library of high fidelity standard designs created with Diabatix intellectual property. These designs are the result of extensive engineering, simulation and optimisation.
Because these designs are tested, tried and trusted, you can:
- Start your thermal management design from a proven thermal concept.
- Combine a shortening the early exploration phase of each project with a highly scalable production process.
- Rely on designs that already include efficient thermal optimisation.
That way, your CFD effort focuses on validation, refinement and integration instead of recreating the same baseline geometries again and again.
2) ColdStream embeds manufacturing knowledge directly in the design process
A thermal design only creates value if it can actually be produced.
In ColdStream we maintain a comprehensive database of manufacturing methods so that your designs remain realistic while still giving you access to innovative production options.
We take into account constraints and opportunities for methods such as machining, casting, extrusion and additive manufacturing.
This allows you to:
- Explore advanced geometries that respect production rules
- Avoid late redesigns where a promising CFD result turns out to be impossible to make
- Compare different manufacturing strategies for the same performance target
By including manufacturing know-how in the generative process, we help you keep your CFD results aligned with what your production teams can build.
3) ColdStream connects materials and manufacturing for thermal performance
Materials in thermal management evolve continuously. New alloys, composites and interface materials change what is possible in terms of conductivity, weight, robustness and cost. In ColdStream we combine an extensive material database with manufacturing feasibility.
For each design we check whether the chosen material is compatible with the selected process and geometry.
This helps you:
- Select materials that fit your thermal and mechanical needs
- Avoid combinations of material and process that are impractical
- Systematically explore alternatives that may improve performance or cost
Your CFD process therefore optimises not only flow and temperature fields, but does so with realistic material and manufacturing combinations from the start.
4) ColdStream avoids black-box assumptions so you can trust the results
Generative design only helps you if you can trust what it is doing.
We deliberately avoid AI short cuts that can compromise the accuracy of the design, undermine the viability of the results, or lead your project into unguided, unvalidated scenarios. ColdStream is built on transparent, physics-based algorithms that you can depend on with a high level of confidence.
You stay in charge at every step.
You define the loads, operating conditions and design constraints.
You control the boundary conditions and objectives.
You can see how each change in input affects the generated design.
Our generative algorithm follows the rules of fluid dynamics and heat transfer rather than guessing from past data.
When you review the geometry in your own CFD tools, you can connect every feature of the design back to the inputs and physics that created it.
You are not relying on AI hopium.
You are working with a generative design process that behaves consistently and gives you clear reasons to trust the outcome.
5) Your IP and data is our priority.
We know that your thermal designs often contain critical intellectual property. Protecting that information is a fundamental design principle, not an afterthought.
ColdStream operates within an ISO 27001 certified information security management system. This covers our people, our locations, our processes and our production environments. In practice this means we do not share your designs with other users. We do not use your data for model learning across customers.
We use access control and data handling follow audited procedures to ensure your intellectual property remains yours.
The result? You can confidently use ColdStream as a tool and know your designs remain your secure IP.
6) We are trusted by the most technologically demanding organisations
Some of the most advanced technology and industrial companies already rely on ColdStream in their thermal design processes.
Many of these relationships fall under strict confidentiality, but several are visible through public case studies and partner references.
By reviewing these examples you can see how we support applications such as power electronics cooling, battery thermal management and high performance computing.
This gives you confidence that we can handle complex real world CFD challenges and that our methods scale from early studies to production relevant designs.
Other teams already depend on our platform for important decisions so if your organisation is a leader in its market, there is a real possibility that peers, suppliers or customers are already working with us today.
7) We validate our algorithms with independent CFD
Trust in a generative thermal design platform depends on correlation with external tools. Our clients often validate ColdStream designs with third party CFD simulations with little to no discrepancies in results. The correlation between ColdStream results and those independent simulations is high, both for flow patterns and temperature fields. This builds confidence in the robustness of our algorithms and reduces the gap between generative studies and your own verification.
This directly shortens the loop between digital exploration and hardware testing. When your internal CFD analysis confirms what ColdStream predicted, you can move forward faster and with greater certainty.
8) We sync smoothly into your existing workflow
We do not expect you to replace your current tool set. ColdStream is designed to fit next to it. The platform supports import and export for the most widely used industry file formats, so it connects naturally with your existing CAD and CFD environment. You can export generated designs back into your preferred CFD solver or CAD system or keep using your established meshing, post processing and reporting methods.
Depending on your CFD workflow you likely have the ability to import existing geometries and boundary conditions into ColdStream also. Instead of forcing a new way of working, we integrate into the workflow your team already knows. That reduces disruption and shortens the learning curve.
9) We stand behind the platform with application expertise and support
Behind ColdStream is a team that has devoted thousands of hours to research, development and applied thermal design work. When you work with us, you gain access not only to software but also to that experience that helps you incorporate best-practice use of Coldstream with your current applications and design process.
We provide:
- Guidance during evaluation and deployment
- Support in interpreting results and tuning setups
- Reassurance that your results are reproducible across projects and users
As your CFD process evolves, we continue to help you get the most from ColdStream, whether you are exploring a new application or scaling up an existing one.
In Summary: How this strengthens your thermal management process
We see ColdStream as a way to reinforce the CFD practice you already have. By combining proven standard designs, manufacturing and material intelligence, transparent generative methods, strong security and expert backing, we help you deliver better thermal designs with greater confidence and less iteration.
If you would like to see how this could apply to your specific products or applications, we are ready to discuss your use case and walk you through a tailored demonstration.
