ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:
In this workshop, we will explore how simulation can help predict failures due to thermal cycling, mechanical shock, and random vibration, enabling better design and validation.
By the end of this session, you will have a practical understanding of how to improve PCB reliability using simulation tools, reduce design risks, and enhance product durability.
