CoolSim's many powerful features and modeling capabilities allow users the flexibility they need to create highly accurate models of their data centers. The list of CoolSim features includes the ability to:

• model data centers with irregular footprint shapes
• model raised floor data centers with room or ceiling plenum return
• place CRACs both with and without ceiling plenum extensions in the same room
• model individual CRACs with different cooling specifications within a single data center
• model individual racks and rack rows down to the individual server level
• perform CRAC failure analysis including both fan and cooling failure
• model CRAC cooling using a constant supply temperature, temperature drop, cooling capacity, or manufacturer's performance data
• select CRAC units and perforated tiles from the CoolSim library or define new units and add them to the user library
• model non-uniform heat loads in a rack row
• include servers, blanks and gaps in a rack
• specify rack or server flow rate based on anticipated temperature rise and heat load §model cable cutouts on the floor or under racks
• model blockages of various shapes both in the plenum and in the room
• incorporate heat loads from PDUs and storage silos
• model duct and diffuser systems for non-raised floors
• model heat loss from the data center room envelope to adjacent rooms
