Ansys Icepak in Ansys
Electronics Desktop
Getting Started

Course Overview

Ansys Icepak provides flow and thermal management solutions for many types of electronic design applications. The primary goal of this course is to cover the basics of using Ansys Icepak in the Ansys Electronics Desktop (AEDT) user environment. Students will be introduced to the world of electronics thermal modeling through a combination of lectures, workshops and examples/demonstrations.

Prerequisites

  • A technical education and background in electronics and/or fluid mechanics and heat transfer is recommended but an engineering degree is not required.
  • This course is designed for users who have little or no experience with Ansys Icepak in AEDT.

Teaching Method

Lectures and computer practical sessions to validate acquired knowledge. A training certificate is provided to all attendees who complete the course.

Learning Outcome

Following completion of this course will be familiar with:

  • Overall capabilities of Icepak in Ansys Electronics Desktop (AEDT Icepak).
  • How to create or import geometry into AEDT Icepak.
  • Relevant initial and boundary conditions required to perform a successful thermal simulation.
  • Steps to create a good quality mesh, learn about common pitfalls, and other best practices.
  • How to setup solver settings for a thermal simulation, run the simulation, and post-process the results.
  • Run multiphysics simulations by coupling Icepak with AEDT electromagnetics solvers (Maxwell, HFSS, Q3D).
  • How and where to get additional resources and support.
