Simcenter Flotherm XT 2404 - What's new
Quickly and easily model PCB thermal vias
New PCB thermal via modeling capabilities have been added to the Simcenter Flotherm XT EDA Bridge so you can more easily explore thermal management options:
- Quickly add thermal vias under a component
- Thermal vias are created as a cuboid representation of an array with orthotropic material properties when transferred to Simcenter Flotherm XT

How do thermal vias appear in Simcenter Flotherm XT
Once transferred to Simcenter Flotherm XT environment, the Thermal Via assembly is created within component assembly. It is named TV-"Component Designator". Geometry is created for each dielectric layer and the material effective biaxial conductivity is calculated from via region properties


Simcenter Flotherm XThas been developed to facilitate electronics thermal design from concept to verification, with a consistent data model throughout and the seamless ability to import data from other mechanical design automation (MDA) or EDA sources as required in a particular design process. This design lifecycle support is inherent in FloTHERM XT's design and infrastructure: using SmartParts to build a simple concept model in minutes; work with complex mechanical parts directly from MCAD; create your own CAD geometry easily and efficiently; and use detailed electronic assemblies from EDA
