Circuit Board Design is a product which addresses circuit board design in a mechanical design context and interfaces with industry standard ECAD systems.
This product offers the following main functions:
- Data can be exchanged with ECAD Systems through IDF Files (import/export)
- Circuit board geometry is designed within the global assembly product definition taking into account the mechanical context
- Electronic properties such as top and bottom faces can be defined and edited on any parts and assemblies
- Spatial and technological constraint areas can be created and managed
- Circuit board definitions can be analyzed in the context of the full Digital Mock-Up
- Creation and management of electronic part catalogs are available
- Multi-representation of electronic components is managed
- Hole and cutout patterns are supported as well as pattern of pattern
- Report capabilities.
As a scalable product, Circuit Board Design can be used in cooperation with other current or future companion products such as Assembly Design and ENOVIA-DMU Navigator.
