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

After over 34 years of refinement and input from users, Simcenter Flotherm has established itself as the premier software for electronic cooling simulations, specifically tailored for thermal analysis of electronics. This powerful tool accelerates product development across various levels, from IC packaging and PCB design to expansive systems like data centers. By utilizing rapid and precise CFD simulations, it enhances thermal management in electronics, ensuring reliability from the initial pre-CAD exploration phase to the ultimate verification stage. Simcenter Flotherm seamlessly integrates into the electronics development process, enabling thermal engineers to conduct simulations that yield prompt and precise results, which are crucial for collaboration with other engineering teams. Furthermore, it facilitates informed decision-making regarding thermal management from the initial architectural stages to the final verification of thermal designs. This comprehensive approach not only shortens development timelines but also mitigates the risks associated with expensive reliability failures and late-stage redesigns. In essence, Simcenter Flotherm stands as a vital resource for any organization aiming to enhance its electronic product performance while maintaining efficiency and reliability.
