      I remember there was an easy way to have classic Icepak spit out the inplane, normal, and equivalent thermal conductivity of a PCB board.
      I haven't been able to figure this out in AEDT Icepak. I have a PCB and its associated geometry imported into my Icepak model and a PCB component is created. 
      What is the next step?

      This function is currently not supported in AEDT Icepak. We are working on a toolkit that is similar to what we have in Classic Icepak. As for now, please use the Macro in Classic Icepak (Macros menu -> Post processing -> Write Average Metal Fractions) to get the equivalent thermal conductivity. Thanks.
