How to import IDF files within Icepak
IDF文件是一种特殊的机械数据交换文件。通常包括Board file 和 library file。
The board file includes board layout(board dimension and shape, location of the components), and the library file includes component information (size, power dissipation, junction to case and junction to board thermal resistance etc. )
IDF import utility is designed to convert the CAD data into Icepak model automatically. Icepak imports the geometry as well as parameters such as power and material property based on the availability of such information
