Ansys Sherlock
電子コンポーネントの寿命予測

The new Sherlock App in Ansys Mechanical gives users a fast, streamlined way to bring ECAD files into Ansys Mechanical while leveraging Sherlock’s part, material, and laminate libraries for accurate electronics modeling. The dedicated extension provides seamless access to Sherlock tools inside Mechanical, enabling quick updates to PCB stackups, rapid model creation, and fine‑tuning of critical design regions. By combining the strengths of both platforms, the app delivers a unified, efficient solution for electronics modeling and simulation.

Ansys Sherlock now streamlines thermal profile creation by converting complex field, test, or simulation temperature data directly into accurate fatigue‑ready thermal cycles. This automated approach removes slow, manual cycle definition and avoids the oversimplification of real‑world loading, delivering realistic thermal behavior from thousands of data points in seconds. The result is higher confidence in reliability predictions and stronger support for automotive, aerospace, and industrial workflows that depend on field data, enabling teams to use Sherlock earlier in the design process when measurements are available.

A new feature that enables Thermal-Mech Life Predictions for BGA components (leveraging SAC305 and 63Sn37Pb solders). Using an FEA-based approach, this new workflow helps account for system-level effects and additional behaviors, providing additional insights into Solder Joint Fatigue studies.
