Mechanical designers find that being able to easily visualize component placement and height information based on 3D models solves many of their greatest concerns. Now, checking for interference and suggesting placement edits back to the PCB design environment couldn’t be easier.Ĭommunication between PCB and Mechanical designers is essential. The PCB Connector allows users to include messages along with changes and track edits through time stamped dialogue history.

This is especially useful during the initial design project, and is invaluable in the future if the design needs to be revisited by making change intent and timing clear.

The SOLIDWORKS PCB Connector makesit simple for the Mechanical designer to specify the board shape based on the model of the enclosure, or other mating part or assembly features. Since changes occur frequently during the design process, the ability to confirm fit within the enclosure right inside a SOLIDWORKS assembly is especially valuable. Save time and effort by visually locating connectors and other components in 3D and easily moving them around and configuring dimensions based on the mechanical constraints. Even complex board shapes with curves and other traditionally hard to measure features and cutouts are easy to design using popular sketch tools right within SOLIDWORKS. This encourages innovation throughout the design process by the PCB and Mechanical designers. Link directly to Parasolid models for enclosure and component bodies and then instantly view them in native 3D to ensure correct board fit within mechanical enclosures. Once your board is in the hands of the mechanical designer, a number of powerful simulation options await. Export board assemblies to SOLIDWORKS, with included copper information, to be used in detailed thermal, vibration, and mechanical simulationdata for the highest degree of design accuracy and reliability.ĭata files are often shared ineffectively and unsafely using USB drives, emails, and loosely managed network drives. This wastes time and can result in costly data loss and confusion. The SOLIDWORKS PCB Connector ensures your data can be easily accessed and shared securely. We are certified by prestigious organizations such as ZED, NSIC, MSME, and are affiliated to industry bodies such as FKCCI, IESA, and CLIK.Prototypes are historically built to validate fit, but you can now accomplish the same results with fewer prototypes or no need for them at all.
