Get Started

In this course you will learn about the detailed workflow for PCB FEA models, and how to implement the workflow using Ansys Mechanical™ structural finite element analysis software. Trace metal mapping in Ansys Mechanical software helps to reduce time to create analysis model, and utilize ECAD file to build board geometry, map trace information onto model, minimal manual setup effort needed. Accurate and detailed PCB model can be used for many analysis types:

  • Perform submodeling for local detail studies.
  • Include critical details.
  • Analyze thermal, stress & vibration for whole system reliability.

Please note: These training materials were developed and tested in the 2021R2 release.
