HeatWave Electro-Thermal Analysis Software is available in two configurations; the preferred configuration depends on the type of analysis needed (steady-state versus transient thermal analyses) and the complexity of the design to be modeled (number of devices, e.g., transistors, that are to be modeled as power sources).

W2590ETHeatWave Electro-Thermal SimulatorThe HeatWave Electro-Thermal Simulator includes both transient and steady-state thermal solvers that work with third-party circuit simulators, and a user-interface for visualizing 3D thermal results. The high-capacity transient solver enables temperature versus time analysis.YesYesUnlimited
W2591ETHeatWave Steady-State Analog Electro-Thermal SimulatorThe HeatWave Steady-State Analog Electro-Thermal Simulator includes a steady-state thermal solver that works with third-party circuit simulators, and a user-interface for visualizing 3D thermal results. The steady-state thermal solver allows for transient circuit simulations, and produces average temperature results. The number of devices that can be modeled as power sources is limited to 50,000 in this configuration.YesNo50,000

Note: Model numbers with the ET extension reflect a time-based license option.
