COVeRTM is a stand-alone application for the visualization of thermal model results.  Its most powerful feature is the ability to display heat flows between groups in a block diagram format, which allows the analyst to verify the heat flows shown in the model against the intended design.  Furthermore, the ability to compare flight heat flows with those in a test model can help to identify shortcomings in a test setup

COVeRTM Main Interface


  • COVeR first creates a data storage file with the data requested by the user from the output file
      - .cvr file can be re-used if the output data is unchanged
  • The COVeR interface features 4 panels for the selection and visualization of results:
      - Navigation Tree
      - Graphics Window
      - Plot Data Grid
      - HeatFlow Data Grid 
  • The Graphics Window can display either:
      - Transient Plots
      - Graphical HeatMaps
  • ToolBar at the top allows for control over various aspects of the Graphical Heatmaps
  • The Graphical HeatMap ColorBar provides temperature information while text provide dissipations
  • Layouts of Graphical HeatMaps can be saved and loaded
  • StatusBar at the bottom indicates the available data and progress of calculations
  • Images of Graphics Window and Plot/HeatFlow data can be copied to Clipboard
