Solving the full electrical circuit on a T3Ster calibrated FloTHERM simulation model, though, enables the distribution of power to be predicted, which leads to highly accurate temperature rise ...

To produce accurate simulation results, it is essential that the thermal properties of the PCB are accurately represented in the simulation. The average PCB is composed of many layers of conductors ...

By dividing PCB layers into arrays of small cells and calculating the thermal conductivity of each cell, a thermal simulation tool generates a more accurate thermal profile and ...

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 ...

Version 3.0 of Flomerics'(www.flomerics.com) Flo/PCB thermal simulation software helps solve thermal problems in solder reflow processing associated with the use of lead-free solders.

One of the key aspects of any PCB design is the thermal design, i.e. the heat transfer processes, due to the amount of heat given off by multiple components in a localized area. In this article, we ...

Maybe my Google-fu sucks, but I've been having trouble locating good circuit design software that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. At the moment, I'm mostly just interested in something that will ...

(C) Simulation result chart with various underfill thermal conductivities. Case study 2: Large body package The second case study in this presentation is a coupled structural-thermal simulation of a ...

In a previous article, “A Close Look at Facts and Myths About Thermal Vias,” we used a thermal simulation model called Thermal Risk Management, or TRM, to model thermal vias.Thermal vias, almost by ...

Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are a fundamental part of the majority of electronics systems. They are primarily designed to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components, and are ...
