Finite Element Analysis of Nvidia Jetson Thor Chip

This project consisted of running several simulations using the ANSYS 2024 software suite. On this project I was responsible for making the chip model and performing the simulations. The aim of the project was to accurately model the impact different electrical loads had on the GPU, including thermal and mechanical effects. Namely, we wanted to determine the physical strain on each GPU layer caused by the differing coefficients of thermal expansion in each layer material. Our final report consisted of 8 pages of writing with an additional 75 pages of results from the simulation.
