Conduction
PCAnalyze can simulate conductive boundaries of mechanical interfaces, thermal straps, standoffs, or attachment to a chassis boundary temperature.
PCAnalyze ™ models the board separately from the trace and thermal planes. Any material properties can be used, with many built in!
A conduction path (other than through an edge guide) can be modeled as descreet conduction path. This type of path will typically be through mechanical fasteners such as screw posts but they can be the result of any type of physical contact between the PWA and a external boundary such as a box chassis.
