Cadence has introduced a platform for performing thermal and thermal-stress analysis of subsystems, from 2.5D and 3DICs to PCBs and complete electronic assemblies.

Cadence president expects expanded role for reinforcement learning in tool portfolio and looks for help on AI for verification.

Computational fluid dynamics now addresses more of the simulation activities required for complex systems in a single methodology.

Mentor Graphics has release a version of its Flotherm tool that makes it possible to build accurate models of heat flow through electronic systems from initial concepts through to prototypes without the extensive manual rework that these analyses have needed traditionally.
