Description

This tool is used to create customized BGAs on user-defined solder locations along with the package and the board.

  • Single type

    Users can use this option to create customized BGA with unique mesh.

    • BGA 3D mesh

      Select the template BGA 3D mesh that needs to be copied to different solder locations.

  • Multiple types

    Users can use this option to create customized BGA with any number of solders or BGA mesh. The .csv file should mention the model’s name for each solder location.

  • Two types - Special

    Users can use this option to create customized BGA with two different BGA mesh. They can choose detailed mesh for corners and simplified mesh for the rest of the regions.

    • BGA at corners

      Select the detailed BGA mesh used for the corners.

    • BGA at rest of the regions

      Select the simplified BGA mesh used for the rest of the regions.

    • Corner dimension

      It defines the corner region width for placing the detailed BGA mesh.

BGA locations

Select the .csv file that contains different solder locations.

Package/Board mesh size

The average element edge length of the package/board.

  • Dimensions
    • X – Length: Package length in x-direction.
    • Y – Length: Package length in y-direction.
  • Thickness: Height or thickness by which the package sheet to be extruded.
  • Number of layers: The number of layers of elements in the thickness direction.
Board
  • X-Length: Board length in x-direction.
  • Y-Length: Board length in y-direction.
  • Thickness: Height or thickness of the board.
  • Number of layers: The number of layers of elements in the thickness direction.

Underfill

Option to create an extra body that surrounds the solder balls between the package and board.
