Building the Model

Easy-to-use GUI giving full ability to create and change architectural geometry, cooling /
     ventilation, power and IT configurations.

  CAD import generating outlines for geometry creation. learn more

  Equipment data import from an existing inventory via neutral file format.

Different cooling systems easily represented to allow for internal and external cooling units, raised     and non-raised floor systems, duct distribution systems etc;

  Intelligent modelling objects for easy representation of typical data center parts such as:

    - IT equipment;
    - Cooling units with different cooling media and fan types;
    - Power system components such as PDU, UPS, transformer…;
    - Air terminals such as floor grilles, square / rectangular diffusers, swirl diffusers etc.

Extensive libraries of IT equipment, cabinets, cooling units, etc.

Drag-&-drop items of equipment from the library for model creation and update.

Use the 6SigmaCooling plug-in module to evaluate cooling in your data center.

Quick views of:

    - Cooling load-distribution;
    - Cooling flow distribution and specifically grille flows;
    - Power distribution;
    - The overall thermal environment.

Hardware Recommendations

6SigmaDC is a program suite that will require different levels of hardware resource depending on the size and complexity of the models it is used to create and run.
For the sake of basic training and other small models (< 500sqft), it will run on a standard laptop with 1GB RAM and integrated graphics.
Any other modelling use is likely to require more powerful hardware.
The license server component, which can be installed separately on a remote machine, requires very little resource and should run on any supported Windows PC.
Supported Operating Systems. 32 and 64bit: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003,Windows Server 2008, Windows HPC Server 2008.
Virtual machines are not recommended.

Example configurations for mid-range systems:
Laptop - Mobile Core i7, 4-8GB RAM, Discrete graphics, 500GB HDD
Desktop - Core i7 or Xeon UP, 12GB RAM, nVidia Quadro FX 580, 1TB HDD
Server - Xeon DP or MP, 32GB+ RAM, nVidia Quadro FX 1800, 1TB HDD
