The table below details Icepak Classic Block properties and their effect on boundary condition assignments in the Electronics Desktop.
| Icepak Classic Block Properties | Electronics Desktop Boundary Condition |
|---|---|
| Radiation is disabled and total power is non-zero | Block |
| Reference temperature radiation is enabled | Source |
| Reference temperature radiation and External Conditions are enabled | Source, and a Stationary Wall for each face |
| External conditions is enabled | Stationary Wall for each face |
| Individual sides are specified with Thermal condition as Fixed heat | Source(s) at the specified face(s) |
| Individual sides are specified with Thermal condition as Fixed heat and Resistance enabled | Conducting Plate at the specified face(s) |
| Reference temperature radiation is enabled and Thermal condition is Internal Conditions | Stationary Wall(s) at the specified face(s) |
| Network Block type is selected | Network at the specified face(s) |
Note:
If the Icepak Classic project contains an ECAD block, the ECAD file must exist as specified in the INFO file, or it must be included in the same directory as the .tzr file. If so, a PCB native component is created in the Electronics Desktop. If the file does not exist as specified, a 3D bounding box is created.
