This paper presents a reference design flow for solving the electrical, thermal and mechanical challenges of a printed circuit board (PCB) using simulation tools from ANSYS. This approach can be ...

The ANSYS design flow yields power losses across the entire board and determines whether the integrated circuit (IC) and overall board temperatures lie within safe operating limits and predicts ...
