Component Parameters

Analysis > Loads > Component Parameters

This tool is to define the list of components for which the fatigue life calculation is to be done.

Relative position factor: The position of components relative to the PCB board will be automatically measured upon selecting the components.

Component type factor: It is a scaling factor used in PCB reliability analysis, determined by the component type. This value will be automatically retrieved if defined in the component database, and it can also be assigned to ECAD during import.

For every component, the cycles to failure, lifetime, and used life will be calculated. Additionally, the overall combined life, used life, and lifetime across all loading types will also be computed.
