Predicting how heat and process-induced stresses cause a package to deform — at manufacturing resolution, on full-fidelity hardware designs, without manual meshing or specialist-only setup. Vinci's thermo-mechanical analysis demo shows what changes when that prediction is available while the design is still moving.
Vinci’s thermoelastic warpage prediction demo shows how deterministic, solver-accurate thermo-mechanical analysis can predict how heat and process-induced stresses cause a package to deform — on full-fidelity hardware designs, at manufacturing resolution, and without manual meshing or specialist-only setup.
Rather than treating thermo-mechanical analysis as a single validation output at the end of the design cycle, Vinci makes warpage prediction continuously available during design exploration — giving teams earlier visibility into stress, deformation, and package deformation before architectural decisions are locked.
Vinci ingests native design files and preserves layout, material interfaces, and feature detail without collapsing the design into proxy models or rule-of-mixtures approximations.
The demo shows thermoelastic warpage prediction used early in the process during active design exploration — not just at final qualification, when changes are no longer feasible.
From design file to stress, displacement, and warpage results — without manual meshing, solver configuration, or specialist-only setup at any stage.
The workflow covers component-level feature detail through full board assemblies, resolving geometry from microns to centimeters in a single automated run.
The same geometry, materials, boundary conditions, and loads produce the same outputs every run — stable enough for regression testing, design comparison, and production sign-off.
Thermo-mechanical analysis shifts from a one-off risk check to a deterministic, repeatable engineering input — thermoelastic warpage prediction available throughout the design cycle, not only at sign-off.
In semiconductor packaging, warpage determines whether products ship—or don’t.
At every level of assembly, bonds form only when warpage stays within tolerance.
When it doesn’t, there is no electrical connection.
The tolerance is measured in microns.
The problem is becoming impossible to ignore.
AI systems demand larger packages, more dies, denser routing, and increasingly complex structures.
As complexity grows, so does warpage.
Some of the industry’s most advanced products have already been redesigned—not because compute was impossible…
Because warpage couldn’t be predicted early enough.
This isn’t a problem the industry ignored.
It’s a problem the industry learned to live with.
Physical experiments are accurate—but each design iteration can take months.
Calibrated models work—until the design changes.
Simplified simulations produce results—but only after discarding the geometry that determines real warpage.
Different approaches.
The same compromise.
Because no practical alternative existed.
For decades, engineers adapted their workflows to the limits of computation.
What you’re seeing changes that.
This isn’t simply faster simulation.
It’s the first time manufacturing-resolution warpage analysis becomes computationally practical.
The native design.
Every layer.
Every metal line.
Every via.
Before engineering decisions are committed.
3-micron resolution.
225°C bonding temperature.
Run.
392 microns.
But the magnitude isn’t the breakthrough.
The shape is.
The warpage follows the actual layout—the metal distribution, the residual stress, the real geometry.
Simplified models can approximate the answer.
They cannot reproduce this.
And this is the information engineers need before products are built.
1.2 billion degrees of freedom.
Manufacturing resolution.
Native design.
Under four minutes.
Not an approximation.
Not a surrogate.
A fundamentally new engineering capability.
For decades…
Manufacturing-resolution physics was something engineers validated after design decisions had already been made.
Today…
It becomes something they can reason with while the design is still evolving.
