IT Design CFD integration in IT Advisor

[JLehr]

IT Advisor 9.5.2 introduced a built-in integration to Schneider Electric's IT Design CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) offer.

Note: This integration is a beta feature to allow customers to explore the new CFD tool and share feedback. Users may encounter inconsistent results. The integration will be enhanced in future ITA releases.

IT Design CFD provides a simulation of heat, pressure (airflow pressure), velocity (airflow direction) and airflow speed for a room. You can add it as an external system in the IT Advisor web client. 

• An outgoing connection on port 443 from the IT Advisor server to a hosted IT Design CFD simulation server is required.
• Only one external system configuration to IT Design CFD is allowed at a time.

To configure the IT Design CFD integation:

Click the Configuration icon in the menu. 

Click Configure New.

Select the server type, EcoStruxure IT Design CFD.

Specify a name for the configuration.

Specify the host name of the IT Design CFD server.

Check the box to Use Encryption.

Specify the outgoing Port, must be 443.

Specify the Timeout settings in seconds: Connection timeout, Write timeout, and Read timeout

The default is 300 seconds.

Save changes.

Once the integration is configured, click Manage to modify or delete it.
