Geometry, mechanical and post-processing#

This workflow demonstrates how to create a printed circuit board (PCB) geometry, mesh, run steady state and transient thermal analysis, and post-process using DPF. The geometry generated is a simple PCB with multiple chips. The exported CAD file (PMDB format) is then imported inside Ansys Mechanical to run a steady-state thermal analysis followed by transient analysis.
