Mentor
Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that the Mentor
Graphics® FloTHERM®
XT electronics cooling software technology was chosen as one of EDN
Magazine’s Hot 100 Electronics Products for 2013 and also received
the EDN China Innovation Award for Best Product in the development tool
and software category. For the Hot 100, EDN editors annually review and
select the electronic industry’s most significant products of the year
based on innovations, significance, usefulness and popularity. The EDN
China Innovation Award is one of China’s top electronics design industry
competitions and the FloTHERM XT technology was selected as one of 20
best products among 144 total entries.
The FloTHERM XT software is an industry unique thermal simulation
solution designed to be used during all stages of the electronics design
process – from conceptual design to manufacturing, improving product
quality, reliability and time-to-market. It integrates thermal design
data from electronic design automation (EDA) and mechanical design
automation (MDA) domains to shorten the design cycle for ICs, boards,
systems, and arbitrary shape enclosures, while providing accurate
simulation and analysis results. By bringing the EDA and the MCAD design
flows closer, the FloTHERM XT software enables engineers to use the same
design data throughout the design flow assuring the latest and most
consistent data is always at the center of the design process.
“We’re proud that our FloTHERM XT product received this recognition from
EDN since our technology addresses a real need for today’s advanced
electronic designs,” stated Ian Clark, FloTHERM XT product manager,
Mentor Graphics Mechanical Analysis Division. “The combination of
increasing power consumption and higher device density in electronic
products now requires detailed thermal analysis, and FloTHERM XT
provides a solution to this problem.”

About Mechanical Analysis from Mentor Graphics
The Mentor Graphics® thermal simulation and analysis products have led
the market for 25 years, supporting the largest installed base of any
thermal design tool supplier. In 1988 Dr. David Tatchell and Dr. Harvey
Rosten founded Flomerics Ltd. and launched what became the award-winning
FloTHERM® product. Mentor Graphics acquired Flomerics along with its
MicReD® (Microelectronics Research and Development) group in 2008.
Today, Mentor Graphics continues this technology-leading tradition,
providing a broad portfolio of best-in-class upfront analysis and
test/measurement solutions. These include the FloTHERM family of IC, PCB
and systems thermal simulation solutions, FloEFD™ concurrent
CAD-embedded CFD for 3D fluid flow and heat transfer analysis, FloVENT®
for HVAC analysis, Flowmaster® 1D thermo-fluid simulation, and the
T3Ster®, as well as TeraLED® transient temperature measurement systems
for semiconductor and LED applications and DynTIM thermal interface
material tester. For more information: www.mentor.com/mechanical.
