Introduction to Ansys Icepak (Self-paced Learning Available)

Course Overview

Ansys Icepak provides flow and thermal management solutions for many types of electronic design applications. The primary goal of this course is to cover the basics of working in the Ansys Icepak user environment. Students will be introduced to the world of electronics thermal modelling through a combination of lectures, workshops and examples/demonstrations. The lectures and examples/demos are covered during the online sessions while the workshops are to be completed independently between online sessions. The online sessions include ample Q & A time to discuss questions, comments and feedback related to the workshops and Icepak modelling in general.

Prerequisites

  • A technical education and background in fluid mechanics and heat transfer is recommended but an engineering degree is not required. This course is designed for clients who have little to no experience with Ansys Icepak.

Target Audience

Engineers and Designers

Teaching Method

Lectures and computer practical sessions to validate acquired knowledge. A training certificate is provided to all attendees who complete the course.
