What is the difference between FloTHERM and FloTHERM XT?
FloTHERM is very fast and ideal for everything more square shaped like big server racks or anything boxy. FloTHERM XT is handling complex geometry better, so everything where design in the MCAD geometry comes more into focus such as a nice shaped Xbox housing etc. It is simply easier to work with such geometries then.
What is FloTHERM XT?
FloTHERM XT is a unique, award-winning thermal simulation solution that can be used during all stages of the electronics design process – from conceptual design to manufacturing – improving product quality, reliability and time-to-market.
What is HyperLynx?
HyperLynx is a complete family of analysis tools for high-speed electronic design including electrical design rule checking (DRC/ERC), signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI) with integrated 2D/2.5D/3D electromagnetic modeling (3D EM).
What is Ansys Icepak?
Ansys Icepak is a CFD solver for electronics thermal management. It predicts airflow, temperature and heat transfer in IC packages, PCBs, electronic assemblies/enclosures and power electronics.

How do you do a thermal analysis of PCB?
Using Thermal Analysis to Design Your Circuit Board
- Add thermal vias with grounded polygon pour underneath the component.
- Use a PCB substrate material with higher thermal conductivity.
- Add a heatsink to the component.
- Include more copper below the component, such as a plane layer.
What is Cadence sigrity?
Cadence® Sigrity™ Aurora provides traditional signal and power integrity (SI/PI) analysis for pre-, in-design, and post-layout PCB designs. It provides a SPICE-based simulator and the patented Sigrity embedded hybrid field solvers for extraction of 2D and 3D structures.
How much does HyperLynx cost?
A three-month subscription of the HyperLynx DRC “Gold Edition” product with 22 rules is available for $299 (USD) and an annual (12-month) subscription option is available for $995 (USD).
Is Ansys Icepak free?

How do you stop a PCB from overheating?
Applying Laminates. Applying laminates is another way to prevent damage from high temperatures. High-temperature PCB laminates can prevent overheating by offering heat protection for the PCB’s components.
What is new in Simcenter FloTHERM XT 2020.1?
More usefully, at Simcenter Flotherm XT 2020.1, this allows you to run cases consecutively using a previously halted simulation end point as the start point for the new simulation with different logic and new halt on goal criteria applied.
Is the FloTHERM XT the same as the DTRM?
FloTHERM XT has the DTRM model and FloTHERM either the same or similar one like the Surface-to-Surface, I’m not sure and would have to look it up. These models are enough for regular heat radiation as it appears in electronics cooling applications. Not all of what you mentioned.
What does Simcenter FloTHERM XT EDA bridge do?
Simcenter Flotherm XT EDA bridge, for PCB model generation including component layout and trace, now includes the ability to save work during PCB ECAD data import process easily. This uses file extension *.edabridge.
Can you define a film thickness in FloTHERM XT?
No, FloTHERM XT cannot do that. 4. The condensation/evaporation model is a film model so you can define a film thickness as an initial condition in a transient simulation and the evaporation energy is considered in the simulation but it is a film model so the film thickness is to be much smaller than a cell size.
