From cheap toys and smartphones to sophisticated computers and radar detector systems, printed circuit boards (PCB) are critical components for today’s electronic and industrial technology.
Details
Almost every electronic device has one of these self-contained modules of complex interconnected electronic components, which include resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes and fuses. When evaluating printed circuit board (PCB) designs, engineers must balance the requirements of multiple physics disciplines in optimizing the PCB reliability. There are four broad areas of reliability related to PCB layout and component mounting: electrical, mechanical, thermal, and thermomechanical.
There are four broad areas of reliability related to PCB layout and component mounting: electrical, mechanical, thermal, and thermomechanical. Ansys Sherlock automated design analysis software significantly innovates electronic design by empowering designers to simulate real-world conditions and accurately model printed circuit boards (PCBs) and assemblies to predict solder fatigue due to thermal, mechanical and shock and vibration conditions.
This webinar demonstrates a new, fully automated approach for fast and accurate life predictions for electronic hardware at the component, board and system levels in early design.
