Ansys Icepak enables you to import individual CTM powermap files exported from Apache RedHawk.
To import the powermap into Ansys Icepak, follow the procedure below.
From the Die Block drop-down list, select the block on which to place the powermap.
Enter a value for Density Number to define the number of heat sources.
If needed, enter a value for Resolution. Resolution allows you to input a factor by which to multiply the size of the smallest sources in the powermap. This is helpful when using a high Density number. The default entry of 1 retains the default size of the smallest sources.
Next to CTM File, click Browse to open the CTM panel. Browse to the location of the CTM file, select it, and click Open.
Click Load to load the CTM file. Under CTM data, the Total Power(W) and SH Power(W) (self-heat power) are displayed for each Temperature(C) point.
Note: It is useful to check if the CTM power structure is normal. That is, Total Power(W) increases with temperature as expected, and SH Power(W) is small relative to total power (for example, less than 10%).
Under CTM data, select the Direction of the powermap.
If needed, select a Rotation to rotate the powermap clockwise.
The current selection is displayed in the Current field.
Note: You can click View next to each CTM temperature level to display the powermap in the graphics window and the Powermap info panel, which includes the Temperature, Max Power, Min Power, and Total Power.
Click Apply. A source object powermap is created.
