ANSYS Iceboard

Designers are creating PC boards that are higher density, higher power and smaller than ever before. Do you have the thermal analysis tools necessary to keep up with these advances?

ANSYS Iceboard directly imports all the data from your ECAD tool including component data, traces, power and ground planes and vias to automatically create a three-dimensional board model.  Put this together with a complete component database and CFD analysis of the air and you get unprecedented accuracy and speed.  ANSYS Iceboard models can be exported to TAS , ANSYS, NASTRAN, FEMAP and SINDA.

• Automatically imports the native ECAD database

• Accurate board representation including traces, vias, pads, and the true board shape

• 3D multi-layer board modeling

• Automatic meshing of the board and air

• Single or double sided boards

• JEDEC based 3D geometry data

• Compatible with new JEDEC CTM standard

Realize and solve potential problems in the design phase and avoid costly over-design or failure in the field with ANSYS Iceboard

ANSYS Iceboard provides all the advanced thermal capabilities you need to:

• Identify and solve thermal problems early in design – when failures are least costly to fix
  
  
• Improve the overall thermal management of your PCBs for better reliability
  
  
• Slash development time without risks of over-design or failure in the field
  
  
• Increase overall product reliability and speed-up your time-to-market
