This help topic provides an overview of the results generated by a Microchip Encapsulation analysis.
The following table lists the graphical results that are created by a Microchip Encapsulation analysis and indicates whether each result is supported for the following analysis technologies:
A Microchip Encapsulation analysis generates the filling, curing, and stress results listed in the table below. For more information about a result, including how to interpret the display, click on the result name.
Click , then click and in the Optimize memory for results display area, click in the checkbox to enable this option.

| Deflection, all effects2 |
The Deflection, in-plane (wire sweep) result displays the predicted X-Y (in-plane) deformation of the wire resulting from the encapsulation process.
The Distance to closest wire result shows, for each wire, the distance to the nearest other wire in the model.
The Maximum wire deflection magnitude - Wire number: XY Plot result shows the maximum deflection value of each wire in the model.
The Maximum wire sweep index - Wire number: XY Plot result shows the maximum wire sweep index value of each wire in the model.
The Microchip Encapsulation analysis log is a text report that lists the inputs that you used for the analysis, including solver parameters, material data, process settings an model details, followed by the analysis progress tables.
The Pressure difference result shows you the difference in pressure, over time, between the upper and lower cavities separated by the leadframe.
The Pressure difference, maximum (paddle shift) result shows you the maximum difference in pressure, over time, between the upper and lower cavities separated by the leadframe.
The Wire number result graphically shows the identification number assigned to each wire.
The Wire pairs within critical clearance result shows number of wire pairs for which the predicted clearance after wire deformation is equal to or less than the specified critical clearance value.
The Wire-sweep index result is a representation of the force created by the flow of plastic past the wires of an integrated circuit.
The XY deflection (wire sweep) result displays the predicted X-Y (in-plane) deformation of the wire resulting from the encapsulation process.
