simulate the flow of solder paste during stencil printing for reflow soldering in surface-mount
technology (SMT). In order to understand the results of the simulation better, we first simulate
the flow of solder paste between two parallel plates, in an arrangement similar to that found
in a parallel plate viscometer. We then proceed to examine the results for flow of paste out of
a stencil aperture. The aperture width, height, angle of wall inclination, particle size and …
