Ansys Icepak Capabilities
Icepak makes it easier to solve today’s most difficult thermal management problems in electronics devices and assemblies by providing CAD-centric (mechanical and electrical CAD) and multiphysics user interfaces. Icepak’s advanced CAD healing, simplification, and metal fraction algorithms shorten simulation times while delivering highly accurate results that have been tested against real-world products. The highly automated, advanced meshing and solver schemes, which ensure a true representation of the electronics application, are responsible for the solution’s high level of accuracy.
Ansys Icepak Key Features
Meet Ansys’ industry-leading computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions. In addition, chip-level thermal integrity simulation tools, offering engineers everything required to conduct electronics cooling simulation. This includes, thermal analysis for chip-package, PCB, and systems-level simulations.
Moreover, engineers may also perform a thermomechanical stress analysis and corresponding airflow analysis’. Crucially, this ensures designers can find the best heat sink or fan type for your needs. Finally, users can undertake design trade-offs with our streamlined workflow, resulting in increased reliability and performance.
Icepak can reliably predict temperature rise using specific geometries and electrical inputs. That is, thanks to a tight synergy with SIwave, Ansys Mechanical, and Sherlock.
Icepak users can quickly put together automated workflows for electromigration and dielectric breakdown. In addition, multi-axial solder joint fatigue within the Ansys ecosystem.
Electronic devices’ efficiency and reliability can be harmed by heat.
Thermal analysis relies heavily on IC power dissipation and power losses across the board.
