Patent ID: 7725866

Claim:
An electronic package evaluation apparatus, comprising: a design data creating unit which creates design data of the electronic package using a GUI (Graphical User Interface); a whole analysis model creating unit which creates first mesh data, for executing analysis of an electronic package, by dividing each component composing the electronic package into a plurality of meshes based on the design data of the electronic package having a solder connection part; a whole analysis executing unit which executes an analysis of the electronic package using the first mesh data created by said whole analysis model creating unit; a target solder connection part extracting unit which extracts a target solder connection part based on an analysis result obtained by said whole analysis executing unit; and a detail analysis unit which evaluates a reliability of the electronic package by executing a more accurate analysis than the analysis performed by the whole analysis executing unit for the target solder connection part extracted by said target solder connection part extracting unit, said whole analysis model creating unit creating a solder connection part model having the same volume, height, and connection area as the volume, height, and connection area of the solder connection part and is composed of a polyhedron, and dividing the solder connection part model into a plurality of meshes, to create the first mesh data, said whole analysis executing unit calculating a distortion generated in the electronic package as a result of the analysis, and said target solder connection part extracting unit extracting a solder connection part in which the largest distortion is generated as the target solder connection part, based on the distortion as analysis results obtained by said whole analysis executing unit.
