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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Aibuild, a leading innovator in advanced manufacturing software, introduced the BETA release of its new Finite Element ...
