Created to allow Sherlock users to store and share part data across their own projects and with other Sherlock users. Interaction with other commercial or customer databases is also available and is undergoing testing

Global Part Database

Operates 24x7 and is accessible via the Internet Provides users with private “cloud” storage for their own confirmed part data Allows users to view ranked alternative part data while maintaining complete privacy for all users. Community sharing reduces data entry and increases data accuracy

ICT and Shock / Vibration Analysis fully 3D elements for the PCB,

components and mount pts increase simulation accuracy more reliable meshing

algorithm increased analysis flexibility

• sub-assemblies, heat-sinks, chassis analysis

FEA Engine Multi-core and 64 bit support Faster analysis

FEA 3D Modeling

Attach one or more CCA sub-assemblies to a primary CCA

mezzanine cards supported by standoffs

edge-connected cards Sherlock automatically analyzes the main CCA and all CCA sub-assemblies during a single ICT or Shock/Vibration analysis task Layer results and component results automatically generated for all circuit cards

FEA 3D Viewer

Allows users to visualize 3D models and results Interactively view 3D model with colors based on displacement or strain values. Optionally amplify the displacement results to visualize small changes Publication-ready image files can be created at any timeViewer can be launched from inside of Sherlock or directly from the desktop.

Result Management

CCA inputs and analysis results can be saved for later review and/or comparison. Arbitrarily named result files can be stored anywhere in the file system

allows users to organize results in any convenient manner

Can be launched from within Sherlock or directly from the desktop. Multiple viewers can be active at the same time, allowing side-by-side review of past and present analysis results.

Result Management

Archived results contain all input information (BOM, layers, stackup) so you can track what has changed between simulations

How

Enhanced to allow users to choose between the following models: MIL-217 and SR-332

Sherlock automatically computes a failure rate for each CCA component based on the part data currently defined in the Parts List Uniform set of Failure Classes has been defined by DfR Solutions to be assigned to each CCA part. Failure class designators and failure rate related part properties can be stored in the Sherlock local and global part databases by part number

significantly reduces data entry and maintenance across a collection of CCAs and projects over a period of time.
