Thermal Analysis
- Thermal Simulation to locate potential problem areas
Mechanical Analysis
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to identify potential problem areas
- 3D mechanical models supplements the 3D CAD analysis
and provides insight to potential problem areas and allow
the end user to actually hold the concept - 10″ x 10″ x 12″ capability
Electrical Analysis
- Standard electrical simulation tools and schematic
- capture
- PSpice
- OrCAD
- PADS
- End-user typically defines and performs qualification which may include:
- Temperature cycle
- Temperature Humidity Bias (THB)
- Thermal Shock
- Vibration
- Humidity
- EMI
- First Article Inspection
MIL-STD EMI
- Use standard modules and proven circuits to minimize design and test time
- Use of local outside test facilities for certification and validation, if
required
