3.1. CTM File Format
ECXML files are compatible with the following CFD tools:
- Icepak* from ANSYS
- Flotherm* from Mentor Graphics*
- 6SigmaET* from Cadence
You can use STEP files with CAD-based CFD analysis tools such as Solid Works or Autodesk. STEP files do not have built-in material thermal properties, built-in sensors, or built-in 2D power planes like the ECXML files. Intel provides the material thermal properties in a separate file, and you must input that into the model. For power, you must assign it to the die and also add it to your own thermal sensor.
