  • Abstract
    The submodel technique was mainly developed in mechanical engineering for complex parts and assemblies. In the simulations of microelectronics housing the technique was successful implemented for thermal cycling conditions. In thispaper the evaluation of the submodel technique for power electronic packages under power cycling conditions will be discussed.
