Cadence Reality DC Design
Design Data Centres with Physics-Based Simulation
Cadence Reality DC Design enables engineers to create and test virtual data centre designs—from early concept through to detailed engineering.
Model airflow, liquid cooling, chilled-water systems, power, controls and external conditions, and test how the facility performs before changes reach the physical data centre.

Configurations
Choose the Right Configuration
Three levels of capability, from cabinet-level concept studies through to complete system modelling and workflow automation.
Essential
For conceptual design
Cabinet-level modelling and an efficient entry point for less complex data centre studies.
Advanced
For detailed simulation
Adds more powerful solving, IT-level modelling, transient analysis, CAD/BIM integration and external modelling.
Pro
For complete system modelling
Adds flow networks, power, data networks, weight modelling and workflow automation.
