Mentor to Hold Webinar on FloTHERM V12
August 30, 2017 | Mentor, a Siemens businessEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Byron Blackmore, product manager for electronics cooling at Mentor, will present the benefits of the new features in FloTHERM v12 in a webinar scheduled on September 21, 2017.
The webinar will feature the new functionality of FloTHERM, including a new and improved Command Center, and ho these new features can help increase your productivity. There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the presentation.
You will also learn how to:
- Easily create, solve, and analyse model variants to fully explore and improve the thermal design.
- Copy/Paste data exchange with external tools, makes interaction and report generation quicker.
- Support for Phase Change Materials (PCM). Encapsulated PCMs have become a common thermal solution for consumer applications, and have been difficult to simulate in the past. FloTHERM now accepts latent heat and melt temperature as inputs and utilizes these values automatically in transient applications. The impact of PCMs on component and touch temperatures can now be fully explored and optimized in FloTHERM.

Elementary, Mr. Watson: Heat—The Hidden Villain of Power Electronics
10/28/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonIf electricity were a group of college students, then power electronics and the PCB designers who dive into it would insist on driving the car on every road trip because they know the car inside and out—they’re the students with jumper cables in the trunk, a tire pressure gauge in the glove box, and snacks stashed under the seat. While the others argue over playlists and directions, power electronics is busy ensuring the alternator doesn’t fry, the headlights don’t dim, and everyone reaches the destination with fuel still in the tank.
