How to Handle Underfill in ANSYS Sherlock

webinar-thumbnail

Underfill materials are actively used to fortify printed circuit board (PCB) designs, to allow the PCBs to fulfill a plethora of applications and industry standards. From NASA’s space probe (Juno) to autonomous vehicles, underfill materials are present everywhere. While underfilling is a decades long technique, the materials implemented are continuously evolving in response to the growing needs of the electronics industry. New materials require extensive time and resources to fully characterize the mechanical properties and their influence on key components on an assembly.

To alleviate the need for some testing, simulation is used as a complementary effort to qualify material changes. ANSYS Sherlock distinguishes itself as the only simulation tool used in the electronics industry to predict the success of underfill materials. This webinar demonstrates how Sherlock uses a combination of finite element analysis (FEA) and reliability physics to quantify the life of a product stressed by its field and test environments.

Cool Smartphones - Article - ANSYS Advantage - V12 I2

Keeping a smartphone from overheating is becoming more challenging as increasing numbers of transistors and devices are made to fit into a small, sleek design. Qualcomm engineers have developed a way to use simulation to create a smaller model of the power sources in a smartphone. This model can be solved in a fraction of the time of a full thermal analysis, so that they can look at more operating scenarios. The goal is to create a dynamic power management strategy to selectively direct power where it is needed and keep temperatures down.

Pointing RFIDs in the Right Direction - Article - ANSYS Advantage - V12 I2

Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags provide a superior level of inventory management, asset tracking and supply chain management over barcode technology, which requires barcodes to be within sight of the reader. RFID technology can be more broadly applied and becomes increasingly accurate by boosting the range at which tags can be read. Engineers at Honeywell leveraged ANSYS HFSS electromagnetic field simulation software to improve upon current RFID systems. Using HFSS, they were able to virtually evaluate new concepts in less time, significantly reducing product development lead time.

5G Antenna Technology for Smart Products - Article - ANSYS Advantage - V12 I2

The dramatic rise of smart, connected products requires a rapidly increasing communications bandwidth, but the radio frequency spectrum available is growing at a much slower pace than what is needed. One way the fifth generation of cellular wireless technology, 5G, can address this problem is by leveraging beamforming antennas to send different signals to different areas of the cellular network, enabling multiple simultaneous transmissions at the same time on the same frequency. Pivotal Commware is designing the next generation of these beamforming antennas or cellular base stations and other applications, at a fraction of the cost of existing methods. The company’s engineers use ANSYS HFSS to create antenna designs that meet design requirements on the first or second pass, substantially reducing the time required to bring new antennas to market in this highly competitive industry.

Cutting the Cords - Article - ANSYS Advantage - V12 I2

Networking experts predict that, by 2021, 66 percent of all internet traffic will be used for high throughput services such as wireless docking, video streaming, cloud backup and virtual reality. Peraso Technologies enables users to cut the cord and go wireless by providing chipsets based on the emerging 802.11ad (WiGig) standard that delivers high-speed wireless throughput in a USB 3.0 stick form factor. Peraso engineers used ANSYS simulation software to solve thermal problems associated with packing high power transmitters into a tiny enclosure.

Electrical and Thermal Reliability Analysis of PCB with Ansys SIwave, Icepak, Mechanical and Sherlock

When evaluating printed circuit board designs, engineers are faced with the challenge of balancing the requirements of multiple physics disciplines to optimize PCB reliability. Three broad areas of product reliability – electrical, thermal and mechanical reliability – require evaluation to produce reliable PCB designs with a long service life and reduced product failures. This presentation outlines a workflow between Ansys Sherlock, Ansys Icepak, Ansys SIwave, and Ansys Mechanical that combines simulations with reliability physics principles to evaluate and mitigate potential failure risks early in the design phase. Utilizing a simulation-based reliability physics analysis early in the design phase allows engineers to better understand how reliability changes with duty cycle. Reliability physics analysis makes possible the rapid identification and mitigation of certain failure risks with an overall goal of ensuring product safety, meeting warranty targets, and reducing physical test times. In this webinar, learn how Ansys SIwave, Ansys Icepak, Ansys Mechanical and Ansys Sherlock can be used as a comprehensive multi-physics solution to optimize PCB reliability.

Implementing Reliability Physics into the Design Process: What Every Manager and Engineer Needs to Know

Most engineers and management will agree that critical decisions regarding design and reliability should be based on robust analyses and data. Despite this concurrence, product teams within the technology space continue to use outmoded approaches for reliability assurance and risk mitigation. This includes empirical handbook predictions like MIL-HDBK-217 and equivalent, arbitrary derating rules, reliability by similarity, prior experience or even no reliability assessment until physical test. This inertia is partially due to the difficulty of inserting new practices into an ongoing product development process. And the risk is high, since key performance indicators (KPIs) for directors and vice presidents are based on hitting cost and schedule targets, and not on bettering reliability practices. This presentation reviews the most common design flows and the common insertion points for existing reliability practices. Design flows will include revolutionary (new design), evolutionary (minor changes, such as obsolescence or price reduction) and original design manufacturer (ODM). Within each design flow, ANSYS consultants will provide detailed recommendations on where reliability physics will provide the greatest value, and offer specific details around the activity, information needed and purpose. At the end of this presentation, engineers and managers will have the foundational knowledge to improve existing processes and educate peers and supervisors as to the value proposition, while minimizing any potential disruption. The long-term goal will be to reduce the engineering resources and time to market necessary to release products into the field, while still reaching or exceeding reliability goals.
