Power Electronics Thermal Simulation - GeckoHEAT

  • Stationary or Transient 3D Thermal Simulations
  • Automated Generation of Circuit-Simulator-Independent Thermal Impedance Matrix
  • Allows extremely fast transient semiconductor temperature simulations in combination with GeckoCIRCUITS
  • Well-suited for Power Electronics Thermal Design
  • Heat-Sinks, Convective Cooling, Transient Junction Temperatures, Mission Profiles, ...

 

GeckoHEAT is still under development. A simplified GUI and model extraction of GeckoHEAT is already built into GeckoCIRCUITS.

GeckoHEAT will be stand-alone software with a very fast thermal solver, that can extract general compact thermal models for circuit simulators. Free trial versions will be available for downloading from this webpage at the end of 2009.
