QustomPCB is an Abaqus/CAE extension which provides the capability of building 3D PCB simulation models.
The tool automates the reading of circuit board layout files and the building of the board, components, cutouts and holes on the board. Additionally, QustomPCB contains many advanced tools to assist in the inclusion of leads and solder balls onto components, allowing for very detailed circuit board analyses.
Abaqus Extension for Printed Circuit Boards
This application brief describes the Abaqus extension QustomPCB which provides the capability of building 3D PCB simulations within the Abaqus environment. The tool automates the reading of circuit board layout files and the building of the board, cutouts and components on the top and bottom of the board. Additionally, QustomPCB contains advanced tools to generate leads and solder balls onto components for very detailed circuit board analyses
Over the years Dassault Systemes has developed extensive capabilities to model the complexities of circuits boards. This tool provides a platform to easily read in the board files, create the geometry, and mesh to PCB model. Then the advanced capabilities of Abaqus can be applied to simulate the many scenarios that need to be considered when designing and analyzing printed circuit boards.
