During my internship, I used the CFD simulation package FLOTHERM XT V3.0 by Mentor Graphics to measure the performance of two different heatsinks on a printed circuit-board (PCB). The PCB is ...

Up to now, though, such simulation has primarily been the task of specialized physicists and part of the mechanical evaluation of a PCB’s design. However, it’s possible to solve thermal ...

“PICLS Lite is an incredibly simple to use free thermal simulation tool for electronic circuit boards, produced by the team behind leading electronics thermal simulation software, Cradle CFD. It ...

Numerical simulation tools, such as TRM ... Thermal gradients are critical In summary, thermal gradients within a typical PCB are significant and complicated. On typical PCBs, heat flows directly ...

This simulation is for “large plane, far.” Thermal vias, almost by definition ... Douglas Brooks has written two books and numerous technical articles on PCB design. He gives seminars on PCB designs ...

The subsequent 3D electro-thermal simulation process solves for current and voltage potential and uses the Joule heating power as a cell-by-cell power source term in the solution of temperature.

Modern RF design software integrates AI automation, cloud HPC, and multi-technology workflows to address 5G/6G demands and ...

It’s a topic he takes very seriously, enough that he actually started a company called Thermal Management LLC dedicated to helping engineers cope with PCB thermal design issues. He also chaired ...
