Using Simcenter to test the thermal performance of electronics

In today’s technological landscape, electronic components, designs and packages are becoming increasingly complex and compact. According to a study by the U.S. Air Force Avionics Integrity Program, over 50 percent of electronics failures are the result of high temperatures. As a result, electronics manufacturers face challenges in developing more accurate and efficient thermal designs, conducting detailed thermal performance validations and gaining a better understanding of the thermal behavior and lifetime reliability of new designs and materials. However, accurately simulating the internal thermal structure and the behavior of

new designs remains a complex task.
