SOUTHPOINTE, PA – ANSYS Inc. introduces Icepak 12.0 software, providing robust and powerful fluid dynamics technology for electronics thermal management.
 
The latest version contains several advancements, including technology for meshing complex geometry and physical modeling capabilities.
 
The software quickens product development by accurately simulating dissipation of thermal energy in electronic devices at the component, board or system level. Users can improve design performance, reduce the need for a physical prototype and shorten time to market.
 
ANSYS Iceboard and Icechip capabilities are integrated into this latest version, and ECAD designs can be directly imported. Additional features include enhanced fan modeling, parallel processing, post-processing and expanded libraries.
 
In addition, a PCB trace Joule heating modeling capability, together with the import of DC power distribution profiles from Ansoft SIwaveT software enhances accurate PCB thermal simulation.
