Packages - Network Model - General_3Node_Network

Packages - Network Model - General_3Node_Network enables you to create geometry and boundary conditions to represent a general 3 node network.

Name	The Name appears in the Project Manager window, history tree, and 3D Modeler window.
Plane	Plane specifies the plane on which to create the package.
Junction Details	Under Junction Details, specify the junction power and the capacity of the junction and nodes.
Standoff Resistances	Under Standoff Resistances, specify the resistance of the bottom, inner, and lead standoff resistances.
Board Side	Under Board Side, specify which side of the package the board is located.
Position and Size	Under Position and Size, specify the starting coordinates for the package geometry relative to center of the 3D Modeler. Also specify the length of the package and leads in each coordinate direction.
Top Inner Region	Under Top Inner Region, specify the length of the inner region on the top side of the package.
Bottom Inner Region	Under Bottom Inner Region, specify the length of the inner region on the bottom side of the package.

Network

On the Network tab, enter the thermal resistances for the network nodes.
