"Easy-to-use and efficient tool to assess the solder joint durability of electronic packages"
4/5
What do you like best about Ansys Sherlock?

Sherlock is a user-friendly software that allows you to perform thermomechanical solder joint durability assessment with efficiency. The import of design files such as Gerber or ODB++ is indeed time saving and is useful to estimate the material properties of PCB for instance. The fact that it is possible to import a model from Sherlock to Ansys Workbench is another great feature to perform accurate simulations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Sherlock?

It is not possible to perform durability calculations neither at the PCBA level nor the product level (it indeed does not account for the number of identical packages on the board etc.). Moreover, the assessment of solder joint durability under vibration loading is not accurate enough to consider quantitative results. It is however a good tool to make comparisons between different designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
