Description

Ansys Sherlock stands out as the sole reliability physics-based tool for electronics design that delivers quick and precise life expectancy assessments for electronic components, boards, and systems during the initial design phases. By automating the design analysis process, Ansys Sherlock enables the rapid generation of life predictions, thus eliminating the "test-fail-fix-repeat" cycle that often hampers development. Designers can effectively model the interactions between silicon–metal layers, semiconductor packaging, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and assemblies, allowing for accurate predictions of potential failure risks stemming from thermal, mechanical, and manufacturing stresses, all prior to creating prototypes. Additionally, Sherlock's extensive libraries, which house over 500,000 components, facilitate the seamless transformation of electronic computer-aided design (ECAD) files into computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA) models. Each of these models is equipped with precise geometries and material properties, ensuring that stress information is accurately conveyed for reliable predictions. This capability not only enhances design efficiency but also significantly reduces the risk of costly errors in the later stages of product development.

Description

MacroFlow is an advanced software application designed for the swift and precise flow and thermal design of various engineering flow systems. It utilizes Flow Network Modeling (FNM) to depict the flow system as a network of interconnected components and paths, capturing the overall flow and thermal properties. The behavior of the system is analyzed through a direct solution approach that incorporates the conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy at the system level. Featuring an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI), MacroFlow enables users to rapidly build intricate network models. Its extensive component library encompasses both standard geometric parts and specialized components tailored for applications like electronics cooling, semiconductor processing, and filtration, as well as vendor-specific libraries. The solution methodology employed is highly robust and efficient, allowing for the analysis of a typical practical flow system to be completed in under a minute. This efficiency makes MacroFlow an invaluable tool for engineers seeking to optimize their designs quickly and effectively.
