Overlaying DC Temperature Fields (General Mode Only)

Projects with two-way coupling between Icepak and HFSS 3D Layout can have a field overlay that displays the DC temperatures. The 3D Layout project must have an Icepak DC IR analysis. To create such an overlay:

  1. In the Project Manager, open the 3D Layout design and right click Field Overlays > Plot DC Thermal Fields > TemperatureDC.
    Field Overlay shortcut menu, Plot DC Thermal Fields option expanded, Temperature DC option highlighted.
    The Create Field Plot window opens.
    Create Field Plot dialog.
  2. Select the TemperatureDC quantity. It is selected automatically.
  3. Click Done. The Create Field Plot window closes, while the Select Geometry window opens to its Nets and Layers tab.
    Select Geometry dialog, Nets and Layers tab.
  4. Select the layer whose temperature field should display.
  5. Click OK.
    The overlay appears.
    Model with field overlay in modeler window.
