Diabatix’s virtual engineer, X, settles into new Northern European home as workload increases. The addition of a fourth supercomputer will increase our computing power, leading to more design potential, and enhance the redundancy of our data center network.

The Belgian engineering company, Diabatix, is seeking investors to further develop the engineering design algorithm that powers their artificially intelligent virtual engineer. “We want to expand the current capabilities of the engineering design algorithm to meet the growing demand for virtual engineering. We believe we can really play a pioneering role in this field,” says Diabatix CEO, Lieven Vervecken.

Lieven is CEO and co-founder of Diabatix. He has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering in the field of numerical simulations, and has incorporated his expertise into the advanced AI technology that lies at the heart of Diabatix. With a passion for the limitless possibilities of combining engineering with artificial intelligence technology, he discusses here how his company is using AI to develop innovative cooling components for a variety of applications.

In this video, you can see how Diabatix's virtual engineer, X, designs the optimal topology of liquid cooling channels to achieve an extremely uniform temperature spread. For every design, our system conducts thousands of simulations over a period of a few days to design a unique topology that is specifically optimized to a product's specifications.

Artificial intelligence is changing the way engineers design thermal cooling solutions. But how? Imagine what would happen if you explained the laws of thermodynamics to a hyperintelligent machine. With the capacity to think, imagine how that machine would optimally design cooling fins and cooling channels to precisely fit your needs. Would it decide to use parallel cooling fins, S-shaped cooling channels, or something new? Would it try to maximize the contact surface area, or not?

Curious about the newest developments in artificial intelligence technology? CEO Lieven Vervecken shares how Diabatix plans to stay ahead in tomorrow's competitive market by using a radically innovative approach to thermal design. This interview is part of a compelling Flemish issue on innovation which appeared alongside newspaper @De Standaard this week (in Dutch only).

Cooling by air is very relevant in applications such as microprocessors, electronics or batteries. Traditionally, air-cooled heat sinks consist of multiple parallel fins. These designs are very simple, but do not harness the full cooling potential. In this lecture, Joris presents the solution of Diabatix, designed by our virtual engineer. It contains three features which make it significantly more efficient than standard cooling solutions.

"Temperature affects all cars, but it has an even bigger impact on electric vehicles. Cold impedes range, and batteries, motors and power electronics all require cooling, consuming much-needed energy. But new developments in thermal management are helping extend the range and lifetime of EVs" Richard N Williams

Engines are a preponderant heat source in both mobile applications and manufacturing machines. In this lecture, our Principal Developer Joris delves into the cooling of engines. The first engine he studies is the combustion engine of a bomber plane manufactured just before WWII. The second engine is an electric motor, which was used in a manufacturing line. Surprisingly, combustion engines are still cooled the same way today. Learn more in this short lecture.

The supercomputer or 'high performance computer' (HPC) was built by KU Leuven in collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise. The intention is in particular to run AI workloads with large data sets, which therefore require a lot of computer power. Read more (only available in Dutch).

How can you recognize efficient cooling? In this lecture, Joris expounds on a heat sink for an IGBT, an electronic component. He highlights 3 features of Diabatix’s heat sink designs which lead to high performance cooling.

In this video, Joris presents three ways of getting to know the temperature of a fluid or an object. The possibilities and the inner working of thermocouples, resistance thermometers, and infrared cameras are explained. This gives you the tools with which you can validate simulations or measure prototypes.

It's simple, a bad mesh will make your CFD-life hard. Tech Queen Roxy illustrates how you can inspect the mesh quality of an OpenFOAM case before running the simulation. Make sure to check https://github.com/Diabatix/OpenFOAM-... to download the writeMeshQuality utility.

This video shows how you can visually check the quality of your mesh in paraview. It is explained how you can visualize the mesh by selecting the option surface with edges in the representation toolbar. In addition, the steps for visualizing internal cells by using the clip filter and enabling the crinkle clip option are shown.

Never underestimate the value of time! Our one and only Tech Queen Roxy demonstrates how you can save a bunch of it by using states in Paraview. A state is the collection of all filters and settings you have applied on one case. By saving this state and by loading it and applying it to a similar case, you can easily automate repetitive work. Check it out!

Last June, the Belgian business channel Kanaal Z made a video report on Diabatix. Our co-founders Lieven and Joris were interviewed about our revolutionary solution to cool batteries and engines more efficiently.

Many engineers struggle with the thermal design of their product. Thermal analysis and design is a specialty among engineers, but most engineers do not dig deep enough to gain the experience necessary to become an expert. Additionally, the complexity of the fluid flows in real parts disrupts efforts to simplify this design process.

Sometimes you cannot avoid being successful, despite how hard you try. However, if you carefully follow these 10 guidelines, failure is almost unavoidable. Moreover, you might even be lucky enough to drag along all people working with you. So if you have the ambition to fail at whatever CFD project given to you, make sure to follow these guidelines to the letter.
