Tool for real-time thermal simulation of printed circuit boards
PICLS is a thermal simulation tool which helps designers easily perform thermal simulation of PCBs. Even if you are unfamiliar with thermal simulation, you will obtain a simulation result without stress through the tool's easy and quick operation in 2D. You can import the data of a PCB created in PICLS to scSTREAM and HeatDesigner, that is, you can pass the analysis data seamlessly from the PCB design stage to the mechanical design stage.
Useful applications of PICLS
Troubleshooting thermal issues of current products
Examining thermal interferences of part layouts
Consider heat release changes depending on a wiring pattern (coverage ratio)
Examine the arrangement of thermal vias (e.g. location, number)
Examine the performance of a heat sink
Examine the size of a PCB
Examine the number of layers and the thickness of copper foil
Consider natural/forced air cooling
Consider radiant heat
Considering heatsinks (number of fins, size
Examining heat dissipation performances by connection to enclosure
Considering PCB mounting environment
