PollEx Thermal
After analysis, reviewing the thermal Effect on PC board
PollEx Thermal is an easy-to-use board level finite element thermal analysis program. PollEx Thermal get its thermal components information from UPMS (Unified Part Management System) librarian or manual input properties for placed component on board. It supports various types of EDA vendor's design file and will export PCB thermal result to various types of System Level Thermal analysis software format. User can easily run with simple constraints for PCB analysis.
