Flomerics Introduces FLO/PCB Thermal Design Software

Published: 29 January 2007
MARLBOROUGH, MA – Flomerics Inc. introduces its FLO/PCB thermal design software that is said to ensure good thermal design and accelerate the PCB design process.
 
FLO/PCB was designed to facilitate collaboration between product marketing, electronic engineers and mechanical engineers on PCB design, particularly during the conceptual phase of the design process. Changes made to the functional block diagram are instantly reflected in the physical layout and thermal representations. This keeps all team members in sync and enables them to contribute to concept development in real time.

According to the company, a key advantage of FLO/PCB is its interface to Cadence Allegro PCB Editor software. The FLO/PCB/Allegro interface transfers information about the PCB's geometry and components needed to perform thermal analysis. It can reportedly analyze the design from a thermal standpoint quickly and identify problems at a stage in the design process when they can be inexpensively corrected.

"These days thermal densities are such that engineers must consider thermal solutions and the consequent mechanical requirements in the earliest stages of board design," said Dr. Mike Reynell, director of Marketing for Flomerics. "Our new link to Allegro PCB Editor enables users to analyze and optimize a thermal model of their board in a matter of minutes."
