C&R Technologies (CRTech) has chosen SpaceClaim to be integrated within the CRTech family of products. CRTech SpaceClaim will address complexities in creating thermal models by enabling users to import CAD parts and assemblies from many CAD formats to simplify and heal the geometry and then send it on for meshing. CRTech SpaceClaim will also enable engineers to modify the … [Read more...]
Researchers Developing Silver-Diamond Thermal Shim
Researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute are developing a solid composite material, made of silver and diamond to cool small, powerful microelectronics used in defense systems. The diamonds provide the bulk of thermal conductivity, while the silver suspends the diamond particles within the composite and contributes to high thermal conductivity. The research is … [Read more...]
IP to the Pin a Major Trend in Software Technology
IP to the Pin is a software technology that will significantly influence automated test in the coming one to three years, according to National Instruments’ 2011 Automated Test Outlook, a view of key technologies and methodologies impacting the test and measurement industry. Sharing FPGA IP between design and test will dramatically shorten design verification/validation and … [Read more...]
Editorial: Archival Value
Shortly after beginning to work in the electronics cooling field (1985), I heard about visions of a paperless engineering environment. The benefits were obvious, especially when faced with what to do with desktop-sized plots and drawings. For the most part, the vision has been realized. We store information electronically and routinely collaborate across geographic boundaries … [Read more...]
Thermal Facts and Fairy Tales: Published Thermal Conductivities Values: Facts or Fairy Tales?
Around 1980, when I joined the Heat Transfer Group at Philips CFT, my boss threw a piece of material on my desk and asked for its thermal conductivity. It took me a week digging in literature to discover that this was no easy question to answer, despite the simple mathematics behind a steady state measurement: k=q/∆T/A, with k the thermal conductivity, q the dissipation, ∆T the … [Read more...]
