Mentor Graphics is offering a new web-based tool for thermal characterization and design of semiconductor packages. FloTHERM® IC reduces the time spent on thermal characterization and design by providing an automated process that includes pre-verified thermal models to reduce the risk of modeling errors. The tool can also achieve reductions of up to 25 percent in the time usually needed for customer-specific characterizations. FloTHERM IC is based on industry-leading FloTHERM computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, used to simulate airflow, temperature and heat transfer in electronic systems.
