At what point should you simulate? What is possible and what are the benefits of simulation with CelsiusEC? We discuss the development cycle, the tool and the implementation.
Heat-optimised design requires both good heat distribution within the module and good heat transfer into and out of the appliance. However, good thermal management also requires constant communication and coordination between all parties involved. The 3D visualisation of the product and the heat paths can help here as a basis for communication and a driver of innovation.
CelsiusEC is a simulation software customised for the development of electronic devices. It enables the developer to predict the thermal challenges and simulatively check the resulting solution concepts, from PCB conceptualisation and CAD-based housing design through to the virtual prototype.
And with celsiusEC you can visualise the heat paths!
But when should simulation be integrated into the development process? The short answer is of course: As early as possible!
