This paper describes a computer environment that supports the simultaneous simulation of thermal, electromagnetic and circuit interactions in complex microwave circuits. Locally referenced modules have been used to enable disparate modeling tools to interact, and suggest possible paths to include mechanical interactions in the future. Two methods are presented for the simulation of electro-thermal interaction. The first is based on coupling of electrical and thermal environments using a lumped-parameter model of the heat dissipation dynamics. The second technique, consisting of the run-time coupling of a circuit simulator and a finite-element thermal solver, is based on an application program interface (API) that synchronizes the transfer of information between the two. Through this technique, simultaneous simulation of electrical, thermal and electromagnetic interactions has been achieved.","PeriodicalId":299335,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 8th Topical Meeting on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging (Cat.

In the past, we have applied the FD method in conjunction with the perfectly matched layer (PML) and the impedance boundary condition for FD mesh truncation, to compute the capacitances of orthogonal interconnect configurations. In this work, we extend the above approach to apply to more general geometries, e.g. vias and crossovers with arbitrary angles. The paper presents some representative numerical results and examines the convergence and efficiency issues of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":299335,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 8th Topical Meeting on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging (Cat.
