BMC Thermal Simulation via Virtual Cooling Zone Signals

The patent creates a virtual copy of the thermal module and its hardware components through simulation software. This digital twin replicates the thermal behavior, component dependencies, and stabilization processes without requiring physical hardware, thereby eliminating long stabilization times while maintaining simulation accuracy through realistic thermal models and algorithms.

The patent introduces a simulation environment as an intermediary between the development team and the actual hardware. This virtual platform mediates the thermal simulation process by emulating hardware behavior, allowing developers to test and stabilize thermal modules in a controlled virtual setting before deploying to physical hardware, thus reducing both time and cost.

The patent replaces expensive pre-production hardware with a virtual simulation environment that copies the essential thermal characteristics and component interactions. This digital replication eliminates the need to purchase and maintain costly physical hardware while preserving the ability to perform accurate thermal simulations through sophisticated modeling and algorithms.

The patent substitutes the physical mechanical thermal system with a computational simulation system. Instead of relying on actual hardware components to generate and measure thermal behavior, the system uses software-based thermal models, algorithms, and virtual sensors to replicate and analyze thermal phenomena, thereby eliminating hardware costs while maintaining simulation fidelity.

The patent creates a comprehensive virtual model that replicates the entire hardware ecosystem, including thermal modules, cooling zones, sensors, and component dependencies. This digital twin captures all hardware interactions and thermal dynamics without requiring the physical hardware to be present, thereby simplifying the development setup while maintaining measurement accuracy through realistic simulation models.

The patent develops a universal simulation platform that can model various hardware configurations, thermal scenarios, and component types within a single software environment. This multi-functional simulation system replaces the need for multiple specialized hardware setups, allowing developers to test different thermal conditions, hardware configurations, and failure scenarios without additional physical equipment, thus reducing overall system complexity.
