ANSYS Icepak in ANSYS Electronics Desktop Getting Started

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 using ANSYS Icepak in the ANSYS Electronics Desktop (AEDT) user environment. Students will be introduced to the world of electronics thermal modeling through a combination of lectures, workshops and examples/demonstrations.

Learning Outcome

Following the completion of this course will be familiar with:

• Overall capabilities of Icepak in ANSYS Electronics Desktop (AEDT Icepak).

• How to create or import geometry into AEDT Icepak.

• Relevant initial and boundary conditions required to perform a successful thermal simulation.

• Steps to create a good quality mesh, learn about common pitfalls, and other best practices.

• How to setup solver settings for a thermal simulation, run the simulation, and post-process the results.

• Run multiphysics simulations by coupling Icepak with AEDT electromagnetics solvers (Maxwell, HFSS, Q3D).

• How and where to get additional resources and support.

Prerequisites

• A technical education and background in electronics and/or fluid mechanics and heat transfer is recommended but an engineering degree is not required.
• This course is designed for users who have little or no experience with ANSYS Icepak in AEDT.

Target Audience: Thermal Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Electrical Engineers

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

Learning Options: Training materials for this course are available with a ANSYS Learning Hub Subscription. If there is no active public schedule available, private training can be arranged. Please contact us.
