Abstract

In order to allow accurate calculations of the temperature distribution throughout electtonic packages, the REBECA-3D Software, based on the Boundary Element Method, has been developed. The principles of this method for steady-state three-dimensional problems are given. It appears to be very well-adapted for parametric studies then for conception phase. It is finally applied to two cases of interest for engineers.
