Claim One:
1. An automated method that creates a compact and flexible model of an electronic system, exploring the electronic system's thermal behavior and manufacturing the electronic system, including the steps of: a) breaking down the electronic system model into parts of the electronic system, each of the parts being in a single material and being represented as a detailed model comprising at least: a mesh, wherein the size of the mesh of at least one of the parts is defined as a function of a transfer frequency of heat flow in an elementary volume of the part, a heat admittance system, a heat transfer interface, comprising heat transfer interface nodes connected to an ambient air environment model comprising a set of leakage heat conductances, a connection interface, comprising connection interface nodes connected to at least one other model, a power multi-source interface, comprising power interface nodes, and a temperature measurement interface, comprising temperature measurement nodes; b) reducing of each of a plurality of the detailed models into a compact model by controlling the maximum of a heat flow frequency, thereby forming a plurality of compact models; c) interpolating nodes of at least one of the heat transfer interface, connection interface, power multi-source interface, and temperature measurement interface of at least one of the detailed models and coupling of at least two of the plurality of compact models into a macromodel; d) forming the compact and flexible thermal model through reducing the macromodel; e) exploring the electronic system's thermal behavior by iteratively: applying an average power distributed on a surface of the heat transfer interface to at least two of the heat transfer nodes, performing a simulation of the static and dynamic thermal behavior of the compact and flexible thermal model on a microprocessor, and measuring a temperature of at least two nodes of the temperature measurement interface; f) modifying a position of at least one component in the macromodel; and g) manufacturing an electronic system having the static and dynamic thermal behavior of the macromodel specified in the iteration of step e).
