Setting a PCB board background heat load
 

Hi!

I'm currently doing an analysis of an sealed electronic appliance in FloTHERM XT. In the FloEDA Bridge, I've filtered out all the smaller components and put a power on the other bigger ones. However, I want to put a background power on the PCB to compensate for the filtered smaller components, is this possible, or do you have any suggestion on how to do this?

Thanks,
Hugo

Hello,

FloEDA does this by default when transferring the PCB to Flotherm XT. It creates 2 planar heat sources. One for the top and the other for the bottom of the PCB.
