The strategic use of computational fluid dynamics can speed the development of high-tech products. BORIS MAROVIC, JOHN PARRY MENTOR GRAPHICS CORP. TRADITIONALLY, analysis using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) took place late in the design process once changes to part geometries had pretty much stopped. But CFD is starting to be applied at earlier stages of […]

Tester checks IGBT thermal reliability
for electric, hybrid vehicles
A new platform tests electric and hybrid vehicle (EV/HEV) power electronics reliability during power cycling. Developed by Mentor Graphics, the MicReD Power Tester 600A lets EV/HEV development and reliability engineers test power electronics (such as insulated gate bipolar transistors – IGBTs, MOSFETs, transistors, and chargers) for mission-critical thermal reliability and lifecycle performance. The Mentor Graphics […]
