EDTherm - Thermo Analyser software

The Thermal Analyser is a plug-in tool for the EDWin ECAD package that enables you to perform comprehensive thermal analysis of your PCB designs. The Thermal Analyser requires a thermal library (provided as part of the package) containing the thermal parameters of Devices. Users can easily add to the library by editing the appropriate ASCII file and compiling it using the library compiler to create the corresponding thermal library.The preferences menu in the Analyser allows you to specify both the thermal parameters of the board and the simulation parameters.Board Thermal parameters such as Board Emmisivities, Insulator Thermal Conductivities, Board Orientations etc., Environmental parameters such as Working Maximum, Minimum and Ambient Temperatures as well as Cooling Parameters such as Direction and Velocity of Air Flow can also be specified by the user.Back To Top Simulation parameters such as Isotherm Density Colors used for the color maps etc. can be specified.The View menu allows you to tailor the visual presentation of the simulation results as per your requirements. You can choose to view isotherms, colored maps of any one of the 32 layers that you create using EDWin. You can also choose to view isotherms with any gradation, a colored map of the whole board or components with any temperature range. In other words you get the maximum possible freedom to view the results in the most meaningful manner to you, the designer
