We use a model of solar eruptions that combines a loss-of-equilibrium coronal mass ejection (CME) model with a multi-threaded flare loop model in order to understand the relationship between the CME kinematics, thermal energy release, and soft X-ray emissions in solar eruptions. We examine the correlation between CME acceleration and the peak soft X-ray flux in many modeled cases with different parameters, and find that the two quantities are well correlated. We also examine the timing of the peak acceleration and the light curve derivative, and find that these quantities tend to peak at similar times for cases where the magnetic field is high and the inflow Alfven Mach number is fast. Finally, we study the relationship between the total thermal energy released in the model and the calculated peak soft X-ray flux of the resulting flare. We find that there is a power-law relationship between these two quantities, with F-peak similar to E-alpha, where alpha is between 2.54 and 1.54, depending on the reconnection rate. This finding has repercussions for the assumptions underlying the Neupert effect, in which the peak soft X-ray flux is assumed to be proportional to the thermal energy release.
