Thermally Driven Multi-Objective Packing Optimization Using Acceleration Fields

Abstract The packing optimization of three-dimensional components into a design space is a challenging and time-intensive task. Of particular concern is the thermal performance of the system, as tightly packed components typically exhibit poor heat dissipation performance which can result in overheating and system failure. As temperature modeling can be quite complex, there is a growing demand in the industry for software tools that aid …
