Packages - Network Model - GeneralNetwork

Packages - Network Model - GeneralNetwork enables you to create geometry and boundary conditions to represent a general 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.
Location	Under Location, specify the starting coordinates for the package geometry relative to center of the 3D Modeler.
Board Side	Under Board Side, specify which side of the package the board is located.
Size	Under Size, specify the length of the package and leads in each coordinate direction.
Board	Under Board, select the board material.
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.

Standoff Resistances

Under Standoff Resistances, specify the resistance of the bottom, inner, and lead standoff resistances.

Junction	Under Junction, specify the junction power and capacity.
Network	On the Network tab, enter the thermal resistances for the network nodes.
