Components

You can add a component by selecting it from a library. Enter data particular to your application such as reference designator, component location, power dissipation, etc.

PCAnalyze ™ employs a concept of user created and maintained component libraries.

Libraries are small databases that contain the physical characteristics of components that are required for a thermal analysis. These include such items as component size, lead length, thermal capacitance (if transient analysis is anticipated).

You can create as many libraries as you wish. As examples, you could maintain libraries differentiated by component type or board type. Once created, they can be updated, added to, or deleted from.
