Ansys Icepak

Ansys Icepak is an electronics-specific simulation tool for the thermal design management and cooling of electronics product. Based on Ansys CFD Fluent solver, Icepak is capable of predicting temperature, airflow and heat transfer in printed circuit boards, IC packages, power electronics, and electronics assemblies.

Thermal Design Management

With the ability to handle both mechanical and electrical CAD model, Icepak facilitates the solving of challenging thermal management problem and electronics products and systems. Being a part of the Ansys Electronics Desktop enables Icepak to couple and utilize Multiphysics aspects of electronics design and is able to include electromagnetic loss densities and be part of an electronics reliability workflow for predicting temperature rise in tight connection with SIWave, Ansys Mechanical and Ansys Sherlock.

Key Features

Icepak includes all models for heat transfer, including conduction, convection, and radiation for both steady state and transient analysis. Key Features include:

  • DC joule heating analysis
  • Multiple-fluid analysis
  • Reduced order flow and thermal modeling.
  • Package charaterization

We have been on CARE Business for one year and just recently renewed for another year. The major benefits we see are the prompt responses of the support team, which in combination with the Training Portal are very helpful ways to resolve issues and give good tips. The Weld and Bolt toolkit for Ansys Mechanical offers many possibilities and we are aiming to set up a simulation report template with the Report Generator app. Looking ahead, we are aiming to explore the compute power of CloudConnect and Rescale which also comes with the CARE Program. We are in the process of building an analysis team. We believe the partnership which comes with CARE will be an asset during this process as well as future initiatives.

The CARE Program has been valuable for us, providing additional resources and guidance when needed. It has been particularly helpful in instances where we've encountered more complex computational fluid dynamics problems. What we appreciate about the program is the support we've received when we've faced challenges. This has been useful in helping us keep our projects moving forward.

Ansys Granta Selector™ has given us more knowledge about the environmental impact of our products and where we should focus our attention in the development of new ones. Ansys Granta Selector also helped us to verify whether it is sustainable for us to gather used filters from customers to optimize the recycling process.

EDRMedeso’s guided Simulation Leadership Advisory process has given us an invaluable insight into our current situation and identified our simulation strengths and weaknesses. These insights are creating a stable launch pad and show us how best to proceed up the simulation maturity curve and make our new simulation strategy come alive.

During last year, our company entered the CARE Program and we have found it valuable. The training portal has made us investigate more subjects than we previously did. Out of the EDRMedeso Productivity Tools we have found the Weld Toolkit for Ansys Mechanical to be very useful. In addition, the Technology Pool has given us the possibility to explore new areas of interest within simulation. That the CARE program brings value is clear to us.
