Hot times in the nacelle not so hot for electronic equipment
Editor’s note: The article is the introduction from A step change in electronics thermal design: Incorporating EDA and MDA design flows, a white paper by Mentor Graphics that deals with the hazards of overheating. It may be of interest for those who design electronic equipment for wind turbines nacelles, structures in which temperatures easily reach
10 tips for predicting component temperature: A high level how-to guide
Editor’s note: A wind turbine nacelle is a like a hot house in summer months and a terrible place to ask electrical components to work reliably for long periods. To accommodate the harsh temperatures, Mentor Graphics offers the paper titled by the headline above. This brief introduction presents the paper through part of the second
Mentor Graphics Releases Lean NPI Solution for PCB Design
Nearly all products today—ranging from cars to toys to medical devices—contain some type of on-board electronics. The integration of electronic components in products complicates the design process because it requires the unification of what has traditionally been viewed as two diverse disciplines: electrical and mechanical engineering. Electronics are increasingly being incorporated into products as manufacturers […]

Thermal simulation for electronic systems
Thermal management of electronic systems is no longer something you can deal with by installing lots of heatsinks and fans, and crossing your fingers. If you’re building high-performance products, and you don’t want them to overheat or burn-up in use, you need to actually engineer their thermal performance. It’s in the nature of electronics to…
