33.1. JEDEC Test Chambers

Ansys Icepak provides macros for two test chambers based on standards from the EIA/JEDEC (Electronic Industries Alliance Joint Electron Device Engineering Council). One chamber (described in Forced-Convection Test Chamber) is designed for determining the thermal resistance under forced-convection conditions. Another chamber (described in Natural-Convection Test Chamber) is designed for determining the thermal resistance under conditions of natural convection.
