Printed Circuit Board Strength Analysis Software for the Railway Industry

Enhancing the reliability of power electronics products and achieving a reduction in development time.

The printed circuit boards (PCBs) for power electronics products mounted on railway vehicles are exposed to vibrations and thermal loads, which can lead to issues such as cracks in solder joints and damage to components. To prevent these problems and enhance product reliability, strength analysis during the design phase is essential. 'FEMFAT MELCOM' is a strength analysis software developed to address these challenges for printed circuit boards. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Development of power electronics products mounted on railway vehicles - Strength design of printed circuit boards - Durability evaluation against vibrations and thermal loads - Identification of issues and countermeasures during the design phase 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Improved product reliability through strength analysis during the design phase - Reduction of cracks in solder joints and damage to components, extending product lifespan - Shortened development time due to reduced analysis time - Enables efficient design changes, reducing development costs
