The remainder of their time is spent on customer specific characterization. What\u2019s neat about FloTHERM IC is that it automates the process so you can drastically reduce not only the time spent on the standard package design but also on the customer specific characterization as well.\u00a0 And FloTHERM IC includes pre-verified thermal models which can reduce the risk of modeling errors.

And FloTHERM IC has a wizard-based interface which makes using it very intuitive. For additional information about FloTHERM IC and what it can do, please follow <a title=\"FloTHERM IC info\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/mechanical\/products\/flotherm-ic\/\" >this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Since this blog is all about ROI, then let\u2019s talk about how you can try FloTHERM IC for free. You can request a free <a title=\"FloTHERM IC trial\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/mechanical\/products\/flotherm-ic\/trial-account-eval\" >30-day trial version from here<\/a>.\u00a0 Please bear in mind that you will be using the production-version of the software so you can use it to work on your real projects \u2014 not some canned stuff. 23 of the top 50 semiconductor companies use our products so you\u2019ll be in very good company.<\/p>\n<p>Until next time,<br \/>\nNazita<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/mgc_mechanical\/~4\/UoUFmWuuajM\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are involved with semiconductor packaging design, then have I got news for you.
