Description

Ansys Sherlock stands out as the sole reliability physics-based tool for electronics design that delivers quick and precise life expectancy assessments for electronic components, boards, and systems during the initial design phases. By automating the design analysis process, Ansys Sherlock enables the rapid generation of life predictions, thus eliminating the "test-fail-fix-repeat" cycle that often hampers development. Designers can effectively model the interactions between silicon–metal layers, semiconductor packaging, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and assemblies, allowing for accurate predictions of potential failure risks stemming from thermal, mechanical, and manufacturing stresses, all prior to creating prototypes. Additionally, Sherlock's extensive libraries, which house over 500,000 components, facilitate the seamless transformation of electronic computer-aided design (ECAD) files into computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA) models. Each of these models is equipped with precise geometries and material properties, ensuring that stress information is accurately conveyed for reliable predictions. This capability not only enhances design efficiency but also significantly reduces the risk of costly errors in the later stages of product development.

Description

Design Force is a revolutionary innovation in electrical design. It allows you to break down the boundaries of your electrical design process. The process of designing a product is becoming more complex. This often involves technologies that are difficult or impossible to use ECAD tools to address. Design Force allows design teams to access system-level design information as early as the planning and conceptual phases. This allows them to layout each product board while simultaneously considering the entire system view. Design Force uses the most current industry hardware and software. Users can design in a native 3D environment. This allows them to achieve optimal performance by using native 64-bit, multithreading, multicore processors. Design Force is compatible with multiple client-server implementations. You can also work from your corporate cloud.
