Interfacing Sherlock Automated Design Analysis™ with Abaqus FEA to Predict Electronics Reliability

Presented jointly with:

Learn about the advantages of using Sherlock by DfR Solutions, a Dassault Systèmes' Simulia Partner, to interface with Abaqus to design reliability directly in to electronics products. Sherlock includes an extensive component library and materials database, in addition to supporting all the major ECAD file formats, to allow designers and analysts to efficiently develop complex analysis models with ease.

Once the analysis model is setup, Sherlock may be used to produce a variety of failure and reliability results. When digging deeper in to the results becomes necessary, Sherlock includes tools to integrate with Abaqus using a seamless technique to generate a complete Abaqus/CAE model or submit directly to the Abaqus solvers. Additionally Abaqus results can be leveraged directly in Sherlock using its custom electronics post processing capabilities.

• Predict product failure before manufacturing a product
• Design in quality, durability, and reliability early in the product development process
• Evaluate complex models, materials, and multiphysics using an efficient and innovate workflow
