Siemens Simcenter Flotherm XT 2404.0

The Mentor, a Siemens business , is pleased to announce the availability of Simcenter Flotherm XT 2404 - CAD Centric electronics cooling software and sister product to Simcenter Flotherm. For thermal designers, working in Simcenter Flotherm XT’s CAD-centric interface, there are a variety of enhancements to help with PCB thermal modeling.

Simcenter Flotherm XT 2404 – What’s new

Quickly and easily model PCB thermal vias
New PCB thermal via modeling capabilities have been added to the Simcenter Flotherm XT EDA Bridge so you can more easily explore thermal management options:
- Quickly add thermal vias under a component
- Thermal vias are created as a cuboid representation of an array with orthotropic material properties when transferred to Simcenter Flotherm XT

How to edit PCB thermal via properties


How do thermal vias appear in Simcenter Flotherm XT

Once transferred to Simcenter Flotherm XT environment, the Thermal Via assembly is created within component assembly. It is named TV-”Component Designator”. Geometry is created for each dielectric layer and the material effective biaxial conductivity is calculated from via region properties



Simcenter Flotherm XT has been developed to facilitate electronics thermal design from concept to verification, with a consistent data model throughout and the seamless ability to import data from other mechanical design automation (MDA) or EDA sources as required in a particular design process. This design lifecycle support is inherent in FloTHERM XT’s design and infrastructure: using SmartParts to build a simple concept model in minutes; work with complex mechanical parts directly from MCAD; create your own CAD geometry easily and efficiently; and use detailed electronic assemblies from EDA
