How to thermally simulate an FPGA accurately

Hi all, I am looking to investigate in more detail how to accurately simulate an FPGA device for temperature in a CFD solver. Currently, all the information I can gather from various sources sugges...

Hi Max

I have gotten a response from engineering team that Solidworks model might be able to get generated for certain device. May I know if you need it and if yes, which FPGA device are you using?

Thanks.

Hi Eng Wei,

Possibly, it depends how the power should be applied in the model. I've used the available items before and they assume an even power distribution which is inaccurate.

I'm pretty sure my question can't be answered using Intel's standard toolkit, as it needs a much more detailed picture of the FPGA device use. In all the Intel documentation these models give at best a 10% inaccuracy in the model results and I'm looking to narrow that down by a factor of 10.

Thanks,

Max
