Calculate with TRM3. All About Temperature of Your PCB

Components and Electric Currents are Heating your Printed Circuit Board.

How hot would it get? Would the final temperature be compliant?
No data sheet in the world can say that. Our software TRM can do it.

TRM is a perfect software for thermal and electrical analysis ( electro-thermal ) of your printed circuit board. With new TRM3 it is even easier and safer to use than  before (TRM3_Brochure)

Import your Gerber, component and drill data to TRM ("Thermal Risk Management") and investigate the thermal risks of your printed board before prototyping, or, use it to save money in manufacturing (s. FAQ)

Our software TRM offers a unique combination of:

  • Import all layers, prepregs, drilled holes, components, netlist and pads.
