随着电子设备日益微型化和集成化,热仿真已成为其设计中的关键因素.电子封装模块的热仿真通常使用传统的有限元法FEM(finite element method),存在计算效率和精度之间的矛盾,在处理大变形问题和网格畸变方面也容易造成计算不收敛,从而导致结果错误.针对该问题,提出一种基于光滑粒子动力学SPH(smoothed particle hydrodynamics)算法的电子封装模块热仿真系统.该算法基于无网格拉格朗日数值方法,通过将热仿真对象离散为1组粒子的方式求解热传导方程,从而准确地预测电子封装模块的传热与散热,无需生成并处理大量的微小网格,不用担心网格失真等问题.SPH相对于FEM,仿真精度误差保持在1%~2%,仿真效率可提升近30倍,适合用于复杂和动态系统的模拟仿真.
Abstract
As electronic devices continue to miniaturize and integrate, thermal simulation has become a critical factor during the design phase. The conventional finite element method(FEM) used for the thermal simulation of electron-ics packaging modules faces a trade-off between computational efficiency and accuracy, and it also encounters difficul-ties in handling problems of large deformation and grid distortion, which will cause errors in the results. In this paper, a thermal simulation system for electronics packaging modules based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH) algo-rithm is proposed. The SPH algorithm is based on the meshless Lagrange numerical method, and it resolves the heat conduction equation by discretizing the simulation object into a set of particles, thus accurately predicting the heat con-duction and heat dissipation in electronics packaging modules. Since it does not need to generate a large number of mi-cro-meshes, there is no grid distortion. Compared with FEM, the SPH algorithm achieves an accuracy error between 1% and 2%, thereby improving the simulation efficiency by approximately 30 times. Therefore, this algorithm is highly suit-able in simulating the thermal behavior of a dynamical system with a complex structure.
