So here is how you can simulate a PCB steady state heat transfer with Salome Meca!
Video Tutorial:
In this video, you will learn:
- How to import and mesh correctly a CAD model with multiple parts in Salome Meca Geom Module
- How to assign boundary conditions, groups and mesh the model in Smesh
- How to create from scratch the steady state heat transfer simulation workflow in Aster Study
- How you can use the “New” integrated post-process of Salome Meca 2019 to check the results
You will find the CAD model and the other project files here:

If you have any questions, just write them in the comments and let me know!

Hi Cyprien
I have a real world problem that I would like to solve using steady state thermal analysis, I have all the collected data from prototype deployment. I have no experience in the field and would like some help building the model. Is this something I could share with you in more detail and maybe get some help?
Hi Luke,
Sorry I can’t do consulting projects right now.
If you are a pure beginner, maybe you can try OnScale Solve (https://onscale.com/)
It can do thermal static simulation and it is really easy to use!
(You will need a CAD file though)
Thanks for your reply, I will check it out.
