Modeling Copper Concentration Improves PCB Thermal Simulation Accuracy
Byron Blackmore, Flomerics Inc.
A key limitation of many thermal software tools is their inability to accurately account for the effect of localized concentrations of copper on a PCB. This article describes a recent significant improvement in the FLO/PCB software that greatly enhances its ability to model the effects of local copper concentrations on a PCB. More >>
AnJen Uses Thermal Simulation to Validate Motor Design and Reduce Heatsink Weight
AnJen Solutions recently used FLOTHERM to optimize the design of a heat sink for a vertical lift elevator driven by linear synchronous motors (LSMs). The heat sink weight was reduced by 1/3 while providing the same thermal performance as the initial design.

Solving the System-Level Thermal Management Challenges of LEDs
LEDs were originally designed to operate with less than 50 milliwatts of electric power. Over the last decade, the capabilities of power LEDs have improved dramatically to typical levels of 40 to 80 lm/watt. Since thermal management is critical to LED performance and life, mechanical designers need to consider thermal issues from the earliest stages of the development process.
