Release provides IC package designers with a flexible modelling environment to set up and analyse a wide range of system-in-package designs.
Cooling design software handles complex geometries
Version 4.3 of Icepak introduces key new technologies in the thermal design of electronic systems.
Along with a completely new design interface, a more advanced network solver that can solve multiple fans on the same heatsink, Qfin's accuracy over a wide range of complex heatsink geometries has been improved.
The dynamic parameterised mathematical optimisation in Qfin 3.0 is a unique application of its kind.
Optimisation can now even be done with multiple objective functions.
Heatsinks created in Qfin can be exported seamlessly into Fluent's system-wide electronics cooling software, Icepak, for greater design integration and shorter design cycles.
Combined with the leading edge CFD technology provided by Icepak, and a well-qualified support team worldwide, electronics cooling solutions are now more efficient than ever before.
In the future, we will work towards an even tighter integration between Icepak and Qfin".
"We're glad to see Qfinsoft respond to the customer needs in advancing the capabilities of Qfin.
The completely redesigned interface and ease of working with heatsink configurations combined with the speed of optimisation makes this a valuable tool in the arsenal of thermal design engineers to meet the challenges of producing quick, reliable, and robust designs", adds Icepak's Global Business Manager Prabhu Sathyamurthy.
A quick estimation of optimum heatsink characteristics cuts down the design time at the device, component, and system levels, and adds design effectiveness.
By quickly evaluating a number of design options, engineers can deliver more reliable designs in a shorter period of time".
"Our mission", Sathyamurthy continues, "is to provide the best suite of products to address the critical needs of the electronics industry".
