Hi everyone,

I am new to the site and I am looking for more information about PCB prototype designs & variations. Any info would be great!

Thanks!

Matt

Hello Matt,

COMSOL Multiphysics can be used for a wide variety of analyses concerning PCBs: electrical/electromagnetic of course ( see this RFID tag system ), but also thermal ( illustrated by this Joule heating example ), mechanical ( check out this model showing fatigue in solder balls ), or even electrochemical ( demonstrated here by the PCB's manufacturing process ), to name just a few.

Could you elaborate on what physical phenomena you would like to simulate, what sort of things you'd like to get out of the simulations?

Best,

Jeff
