Virtual Stress Testing for PCB-Boards with Ansys Sherlock

Overview

Training Basic

Quickly achieve reliable electronic layouts through virtual testing for thermal cycles, vibration and shock loads This training is offered as a 1-day course.

Duration
1 day

Prerequisites
None

Software used
Ansys Sherlock

Benefits
  • Minimize PCB board failures with virtual testing
  • Quickly check the effects of design changes
  • Convert ECAD data into simulation models
  • Knowledge of simulation is not necessary

Description

Will this printed circuit board achieve its intended service life with a high degree of certainty? What improvements are possible by changing the design? These questions must be answered very early in the development process: With Ansys Sherlock you can check many relevant failure cases quickly and safely in minutes. Whether solder failure under thermal load or under vibration: This training will show you how to use the software with many application examples taken from PCB layout practices.

You will learn how to perform virtual tests with Ansys Sherlock and how to minimize the failures of your layouts quickly and cost-effectively. Create simple simulation models from your ECAD data in just a few steps, on which you can check the robustness against temperature influences, shock and vibrations.

The training is aimed at PCB designers and interested parties who want to get to know Ansys Sherlock. Virtual tests help ensure that your layouts meet your requirements and function reliably even under harsh environmental conditions. The course is also suitable for simulation beginners – knowledge of simulation is not necessary.

Detailed agenda for this 1-day training

Day 1

01 Meet Ansys Sherlock

  • Ansys Sherlock's MO.
  • Demo: First quick calculation
  • Energy criterion for determining the service life.
  • Weibull distribution – Failure probabilities over time

02 Description of loads

  • From component to load
  • Thermal load
  • Vibrations
  • Shock Tests
  • Exercise: Creating a load scenario

03 Structure of a model

  • From the parts list to the model
  • Importing the ECAD data
  • Comparison of the parts list with the database
  • Check and modify stackup and layout.
  • Exercise: Calculation for PCB-Board

04 Reliability and failure models

  • Calculation of individual failure models, e.g. Solder Fatigue, Thermal Derating, PTH Fatigue
  • Evaluation and archiving of results
  • Combination of damage sources according to Steinberg
  • Exercise: Evaluation of a PCB board

Do you have questions on the training?

When will I receive the final confirmation for my training booking?

Straight after you sign up, an automatic confirmation of receipt will be sent to the email addresses you provided. Once you have successfully verified the data you provided, you will receive your personalized sign-up confirmation, containing further information on course fees, the billing address, etc., by email within two to three working days.  

As soon as the minimum number of attendees has been reached, you will receive a final training confirmation containing further information. If you have booked an on-site training, we recommend that you wait until you have received this final confirmation before booking your travel and accommodation.

If the minimum number of attendees is not reached, we reserve the right to cancel the training seven days before it is due to start at the latest. We are happy to inform you on changing your booking to an alternative date. Please note that we accept no liability for hotel or travel bookings that attendees have already made.

When is the sign-up deadline for a training?

Training places will generally be allocated based on the order in which attendees sign up. For this reason, we always recommend booking for your desired date as early as possible.

As long as a coures still has free places, it can be booked.

At what time do the training courses begin and end?

Usually the training courses start at 9:00 am and end at 5:00 pm of the respective local time. The actual course times will be stated in the booking confirmation. Please note that, depending on the training host, there may be a possible time shift between your and the provider's local time. Therefore all local times are provided with the valid time shift to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
