PITTSBURGH, Dec. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Electronic component manufacturers and their
customers can now easily share design models between different
thermal simulation toolsets thanks to the new open neutral file
format developed by ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS). The open model format
will promote interoperability and ease the exchange of data
throughout the supply chain – saving manufacturers time, reducing
import errors and improving accuracy.
Thermal analysis is critical for new designs in the electronics
industry, making it more important for suppliers and customers to
exchange information and models. Many suppliers support the major
industry leading tools with their component models to allow larger
system modeling and a common format for data exchange. The release
of a standard file format enables component suppliers to create a
single compact model file to describe its thermal characteristics
that work with any simulation software tool that adheres to the
standard and will save users valuable time and reduce
errors.
ANSYS collaborated with several industry leading companies, led
by Intel, to develop thermal model exchange standards that would
facilitate easy data exchange and consolidate the many different
file formats currently being used. The companies validated that the
file exchange format met the necessary criteria and have endorsed
the ANSYS open neutral file format standard.
"Thermal engineers at Intel support this collaborative effort to
enable a direct method of tool interoperability and
multi-disciplinary simulation," said David
Ochoa, data center platform applications engineer,
Intel. "Productivity is expected to increase with automation
and custom tools that will be directly compatible with commercial
software via this standard. Intel's customer support for thermal
simulation will be simplified and streamlined since we can provide
customers a single format rather than spend time developing,
validating and supporting multiple types."
"Open standards and interoperability in the simulation industry
are very important and together with guidance from the industry
group, we are excited to release this file format," said
Steve Pytel, director of product
management for the Electronics Business Unit, ANSYS. "This model
will work with all simulation tools that support the standard –
saving customers a tremendous amount of time, improving accuracy
and reducing import errors."
