PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Ansys Icepak is a CFD solver for electronics thermal management. It predicts airflow, temperature and heat transfer in IC packages, PCBs, electronic assemblies/enclosures and power electronics.
Product Features
Predict airflow, temperature and heat transfer
With CAD-centric (mechanical and electrical CAD) and multiphysics user interfaces, Icepak facilitates the solving of today’s most challenging thermal management.
Electrothermal Analysis of a PCB
Power dissipation of ICs and power losses across the board are key inputs for thermal analysis.
Electronics Cooling
You can also conduct thermomechanical stress analysis and airflow analysis to select the ideal heat sink or fan solution. Our integrated workflow enables you to conduct design trade-offs.
Thermal Reliability
Icepak users can easily assemble automated workflows within the Ansys ecosystem to complete multiphysics analyses for electromigration, dielectric breakdown and multi-axial solder joint fatigue.
MODULES
Electronics Cooling & PCB Thermal Simulation and Analysis
Ansys Icepak provides powerful electronic cooling solutions that utilize the industry leading Ansys Fluent computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver for thermal and fluid flow analyses of integrated circuits (ICs), packages, printed circuit boards (PCBs) and electronic assemblies. The Ansys Icepak CFD solver uses the Ansys Electronics Desktop (AEDT) graphical user interface (GUI).
