Thermal Analysis

High temperatures can damage electronic components. This lesson analyzes the heat transfer in the chip assembly shown:

In this lesson, you learn the following:

  • Creating a steady state thermal study
  • Assigning material properties
  • Defining a temperature-dependent material property
  • Defining thermal loads and boundary conditions
  • Viewing and probing temperature results
  • Generating an iso plot of temperature
  • Creating a transient thermal study
  • Using drag and drop to define material properties and thermal loads
  • Defining a time-dependent thermal load by importing a predefined time curve
  • Graphing thermal results versus time
