A very useful CAD tool for designing packaging of integrated power converter

Since the trend in power electronics is to increase current and voltage levels to reduce design costs and time, the modeling of the structure is becoming unavoidable. In this paper a method for modeling connections in power electronics structure is presented Since the aim of designer is often to improve an existing solution, the use of such a model in a complete design process is presented. Then its use for different examples shows which kind of evaluations can be done in order to foresee the behavior of the structures
