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.

Description

BQR’s fiXtress provides a powerful tool for electronic product reliability analysis. Derating analysis can identify components that are over-stressed or over-designed and may need to be changed. Stress-based MTBF predictions provide a realistic estimate for the mean time until product failure after derating analysis. FiXtress is an advanced Design for Reliability suite that can be added to any Electronic Design Automation tool. FiXtress modules are available as standalone modules or in combination with other modules to create a comprehensive DfR solution. Unique thermal analysis that estimates average temperature rise on the cold plate for accurate stress derating.
