Why You Should Use Thermal Prototyping Instead of Simulations
Of all the potential problems with a design, thermal challenges are often the most difficult to predict. It's also the case that you don't notice a thermal management problem until you have already created prototypes and started testing. At that point, the mechanical team has to modify an enclosure, include any cooling mechanisms, and they may need to change many specs in a product. It's too late in the game to start changing specifications after
