Icepak Introduction
3
•1. What is Icepak?
4
2. What Icepak can do?
(a) Thermal simulation (b) Fluid flow simulation
Icepak Example:
Introduction •• flow in computer cabinets
•• analysis of chip- and board-level packages
•• heat sink analysis

Elements Drawing
10
Elements Drawing ―Coordinate System1
Adjust coordinate system can make drawing easier when drawing multiple-layer objects.
11
Elements Drawing ―Coordinate System2
When you are drawing anything, push ‘TAB’ to switch to the orientation system,
which can help to set the start point, the end point or the thickness.
12
Elements Drawing ―Trimming
When you want to keep any object embedded in another object, keep in mind
subtract the embedded objected object from the environment.

Simulation Setup ―Thermal Assignment
20
Simulation Setup ―Mesh Region1
The global mesh should be defined before simulation to decide how fine
each element can be in the simulation model.
21
Simulation Setup ―Mesh Region2
22
Simulation Setup ―Analysis Setup
Laminar flow occurs when a fluid flows in
parallel layers (pipes or tube), without
disruption between the layers.
23
Simulation Setup ―Analyze All

Simulation Result
25
Simulation Result ―Plot Fields1
The objects and the faces can be selected to check the thermal
distribution.
26
Simulation Result ―Plot Fields2
The region can be selected to plot the overall velocity within the
environment.
The non model box can be created to show the detailed velocity
within any certain area.
27
Simulation Result ―Simulation Data
Any point or face can also be loaded into monitor. The data can be
check in Result/Solution Data/Thermal Monitor.
