Unable to create a thermal territory that is independent of a component which restricts the user from stretching the territory over multiple components.

Create a thermal territory that is not linked to a component and can be drawn freely at any position and with any aspect ratio.

Define Independent territories by :

• • Location (X and Y)

  • Size (Length and Width)

Creating a new Board Layer Stackup or editing it is time-consuming

The new Board Layer Stackup Editor comes with improved workflow using : 

• • multi-selection feature : Click and drag

  • double click to edit

  • local unit update

Setting up a SmartPCB can be slow with internal calculations occurring for each change. No visibility on joule heating calculation during solve.

Performance :

• • Switch on/off auto update for node calculation

  • Read only display for minimum node size

  • Show net outlines on/off

Joule Heating – Hyperlynx PI Co-Simulation

• • Automatically detect powered nets

  • Joule Heat global goal automatically created

Heat transfer coefficient calculations use the ambient temperature with no way to specify a more accurate reference temperature for surfaces with different abutting fluid temperatures.

Reference temperature setting for Heat Transfer Coefficient calculation and display

• • Set via Results property sheet

  • Used for all HTC calculations

The thermal attribute attachment on a network assembly cannot be varied in parametric study. User is limited to varying via direct power value, or by changing the attribute itself.

Attribute attachment as input variable for network assembly nodes.

• • Attach different attributes for different scenarios

Cannot transfer Flotherm XT model geometry to other Siemens tools.

Export XtXml format

• • Schema updated to support SmartParts

  • Assembly only

    • Project data not yet supported

  • Use to export geometry to Simcenter Flotherm via the MCAD Bridge module

Majority of tools that are part of Siemens product portfolio look and feel different

Adopt unified Siemens UI for all Simcenter Flotherm Flexx products and modules
