Icepak Classic PCB Conversion
The table below details Icepak Classic PCB properties and their effect on boundary condition assignments in the Electronics Desktop.
| Icepak Classic PCB Properties | Electronics Desktop Boundary Condition |
|---|---|
| PCB type is Compact and Total power is non-zero | Block |
| PCB type is Compact or Detailed and Low side and/or High side radiation is enabled | Conducting Plate(s) with radiation at the high side and/or low side trace layers |
| PCB type is Detailed, Thermal Specification is Total, and Total power is non-zero | Block |
| PCB type is Detailed and Thermal Specification is Upper/Lower | Conducting Plates with power at the high side and/or low side trace layers |
Note:
If the Icepak Classic project contains an ECAD PCB, 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.
