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 ...

It’s costly and time-consuming to determine the causes of hotspots on circuit boards, and to attempt to arrive at a “well-tempered” board through multiple iterations once a prototype is ...

The high power consumption of electronic systems, driven by applications in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High-Performance ...

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 ...

“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 ...

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.

for both electrical and thermal designs. You have to rely on my brother’s maxim from Bell Labs: “An ounce of trial is worth a pound of opinion.” And any simulation is just that, a computer’s opinion ...

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

This one is part of the Mentor Graphics PCB Simulation software. The tool shown does the math needed to predict the induced voltage noise (cross-talk) generated by the proximity of noise sources ...
