So you think it's time to upgrade SolidWorks, or maybe it's time to upgrade MicroSoft Office. Does it matter to one or the other what versions they are? Yes. SolidWorks integrates portions of Office so both matter. With a little digging you could find this information on your own in the SolidWorks knowledge base but why? I have done it for you! So reap the benefits of my efforts instead.

Electronics Cooling Module
The electronic colling module provides accurate thermal analysis of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and enclosure designs based on realistic modeling of individual components and PCBs.
These factors improve accuracy of thermal modeling
- Engineering database now contains more materials, components, PCB generator for precise thermal modeling of multilayer PCB
- Module accounts of effects of Joule heating
- accurate representation of chips and base using two resistor model
HVAC Design
The HVAC module evaluates impact of air quality and temperature on products or people. e.g module can analyze a vehicle's air conditioning unit, a server room's cooling system or a building's ability to clear smoke. Inclusion of building materials and calculation of materials semitransparent to radiation such as glass, make thermal simulation of buildings, enclosures easier and accurate.
