Electronics Reliability Just Got Easier

Sherlock Thermal Analysis

Design Democratization

Ansys Electronics Reliability solutions allow organizations to capture a wide-range of parts, materials, simulation and other data, as well as access to critical, simulation-ready material and component data.

Robust Reliability Predictions

Reliability predictions based on physics of failure (PoF) principles resides at the core of the Ansys Electronics Reliability portfolio. Using Ansys simulation tools, electronics manufacturers can determine how long it takes for a product to fail and why the failure occurred.

Workflow Automation

Ansys Electronics Reliability tools allow engineers to create comprehensive simulation workflows that include high-levels of automation.

Electrical, Thermal and Mechanical Analysis

Integrated workflows between Ansys Sherlock, Icepak, Mechanical, LS-DYNA, and more provide the simulation results necessary to optimize product designs and ensure reliability in the field.
