Dynamic IR Drop Analysis

Analyze the temperature distribution and thermal behavior of the design to predict the system behavior in a state of thermal equilibrium. Easily simulate for thermal, electrical, and warpage and stress as well as incorporate the effects of joule heating to produce a realistic representation of thermal behavior on the PCB and improve reliability. Analyze IR Drop dynamically and monitor the temperature distribution and thermal status of the system as a function of time to ensure reliability and efficient power with animated results of the temperature fluctuation at every time step.
