If I have a large part on the board I cut out a piece of Al foil and place it on the board.

But there is nothing like a real board and parts.

Subject: [TN] developing thermal profile without a populated board

Many times we have to create an oven profile but only have a bare board. Many times the boards are complex and have many bottom terminated components on them and wanted to avoid having to guestimate how a profile for a bare board would actually perform on a populated board. Can't imagine that we are the only persons to face this problem. Wondered how other users have worked around this problem?
