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. It is planed that free trial versions will be available for downloading in 2011.
