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

Regardless of whether your project pertains to civil engineering or mining, and whether it is situated above or below ground, RS2 provides a comprehensive platform for analyzing stress and deformation, ensuring stability, designing supports, and managing staged excavations seamlessly. The software incorporates an integrated seepage analysis tool that addresses groundwater flow in both steady-state and transient scenarios, making it ideal for evaluating dams, slopes, tunnels, and excavations. By utilizing the shear strength reduction method, RS2 automates slope stability assessments through finite element analysis, effectively determining the critical strength reduction factor. Additionally, various analysis methods such as slope stability, groundwater seepage, consolidation, and dynamic analysis can be employed for embankment evaluations. RS2 also features dynamic analysis capabilities and a wide array of advanced constitutive models to effectively model abrupt strength loss due to liquefaction. Designed for versatility, RS2 allows for the analysis of stability, stress, deformation, bench design, and support structures for both open-pit and underground excavations, ensuring comprehensive support across various engineering disciplines. This adaptability makes RS2 an invaluable tool for engineers seeking to optimize their project outcomes.
