In this workshop, we performed a coupled simulation using Ansys SIwave and Ansys Icepak. The following outlines the main steps:
We ran a DC IR simulation in SIwave.
We ran a coupled conduction-only simulation with Icepak using the initial DC IR results.
We ran a coupled forced convection simulation with Icepak using the initial DC IR results.
We displayed the temperature distrbutions from the coupled simulations in SIwave.
We exported the SIwave project and launched it in Icepak.
We ran the forced convection simulation defined in SIwave in the Icepak application on a single board.
We created a new Icepak project and copied the board to run a forced convection simulation on multiple boards.
