Model Simplifications for Rapid Assessment of
Interconnects
o Unique scaling challenge of modeling the
robustness of soldered interconnects of
electronics
o Large assembly with thousands of small solder joints
(sub mm)
o Sherlock uses simplified component structures that
approximate the mass and stiffness of the electronic
component without modeling the actual interconnects

Model Comparison
o Quarter symmetric model of BGA device under
board bending moment.
o Sherlock uses package dependent board level
strain fatigue models for vibration predictions

Discussion
o Based on the board level deflections the
difference between the two models will not have
a significant impact on the dynamic response of
the circuit board.
o Both models generate similar PCB strains
