Underfill Encapsulant dialog - Thermal Properties

This dialog is used to view/edit the properties of the selected underfill encapsulant material.

The Thermal Properties tab of this dialog is used to specify the thermal properties of the underfill encapsulant material.

To access this dialog to view the properties of the currently selected encapsulant, right-click the Material Selection task in the Study Tasks pane and select Details.

To access this dialog to edit the properties of the currently selected material, double-click the Process Settings task in the Study Tasks pane, click Advanced options, then click the Edit button associated with the Underfill encapsulant option.

The collection of property values defined on the dialog are saved to a property set with the description shown in the Name box.

Tip: To determine whether you have selected an appropriate material for analysis, plot graphs of the materials specific heat and thermal conductivity with relation to its heating/cooling rates.

Dialog elements

Melt density	Displays the density of the material, in the melt state, as described by the 2-Domain modified Tait pvT model. Melt density is measured at 0 MPa pressure and at the midpoint of the processing temperature range. View or enter the melt density value.
Solid density	Displays the density of the selected material in the solid state as described by the 2-Domain modified Tait pvT model, at 0 MPa pressure and 25 degrees Celsius. View or enter the solid density.
Specific heat data	The specific heat (Cp) of a material is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of material by one degree Centigrade. Click Plot specific heat data... to display the data as an XY plot that shows the specific heat as it varies with temperature. Click View specific heat test information... to display the data source, the date the data was last modified, and the test method used to obtain the data.
Thermal conductivity data	The thermal conductivity (k) of a material is the rate of heat transfer by conduction per unit length per degrees Celsius. Click Plot thermal conductivity data... to display the data as an XY plot that shows the thermal conductivity as it varies with temperature. Click View/edit thermal conductivity test information... to display the data source, the date the data was last modified, the date of testing and the test method used to obtain the data.
