Essentials for Finite Element Simulation

Finite Element (FE) simulation solves the mathematical model of the physical problem. The following sections discuss the essential elements for the FE simulation process with respect to an illustrative problem in the assessment of solder joint reliability. The problem considers a surface mount microelectronic test assembly with a flip-chip package mounted on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) using an array of solder joints.
