Pictured above is the dashboard circuit of the 97-_99 Chrystler Town&Country dodge Caravan. The shape of the car dashboard is complex, and it takes time and effort to define the shape of the board directly using electronic design software. AlTIum Designer supports the import of DWG/DXF, which can directly import the shape of the structural engineer designed in AutoCAD into AD, and define the shape of the board to ensure the accurate dimensions of the PCB and save a lot of time.
AlTIum Designer solution:
AlTIum Designer can be easily and conveniently imported from DWG/DXF mechanical design software and then defined according to the imported dimensions. In addition, 3D models of the outer casing and components can be imported for an organic fit between mechanical design and electronic design. Facilitate communication and collaboration between mechanical designers and electronic designers.
Support DWG/DXF file import definition shape
Defining the PCB shape according to the 3D model of the structure greatly reduces the intermediate links.
Full support for the STEP format, exchange data with popular 3D mechanical software, and import into the design board enclosure. Verify and resolve all assembly issues in real time at the beginning of the design process.
Synchronize the STEP model of the component in the design to verify the assembly problem in real time.
Pain point 2: Application of flexible circuit boards in the automotive industryReliability and safety are the life of a car. In modern automotive electronic design, in order to improve reliability, a large number of Rigid-Flex boards are used instead of traditional connectors for PCB and PCB, and modules and modules. Therefore, the design support of flexible boards is particularly important in EDA tools. In addition, the connection between a flexible board (soft board) and a conventional conventional circuit board (hard board) is generally less intuitive during the design process. The designer can't see the effect in real time for the effect he wants to achieve. The pain of constantly trying and modifying during the design process. As shown in the figure below, the hard and soft board is connected in different ways by multiple hard boards and multiple soft boards. It is a huge project in the design and it takes a lot of effort and time to overcome this part of the key design.
Altium Designer's hard and soft combination circuitry supports checking the spacing through native 3D views. It is clearer and saves space than ordinary boards. It is an ideal solution in the field of design where space is required. The advantages are as follows:
It can be folded, bent and squeezed into a very small space, which is conducive to miniaturization of the product.
The flexible circuit portion reduces the need for interconnect wiring and solder connectors, making the entire system circuit more reliable and durable; less stress on solder joints, and the insulating film is more heat resistant than ordinary circuit boards.
Quickly create 3D image animations to show the folding process of the PCB in an easy-to-understand format.
Pain point 3: Different configurations of the same model result in a large number of redundant drawingsFor the same model, for the sake of cost and management considerations, each electronic control module usually shares the same PCB. However, due to different configurations, devices at certain locations on the PCB may have different installation and installation devices. In this case, there may be a large amount of redundancy in the schematic diagram and the BOM, and there is a hidden danger of management.
Altium Designer solution: application of assembly variables
Altium Designer provides the assembly variable (Variant) function, using the same schematic, the same PCB, the same design project, you can manage the different versions of the installation. As shown in the figure above, the indication of the large red cross is not installed in the new product. Different values ​​for green indicate that the components installed here are changed to other components of the same package in the new product. The different version information for this assembly variable is also synchronized to the BOM list, as well as the manufacturing and assembly files. It makes it easy for design teams, purchasing teams, manufacturing and assembly teams to switch between different products and work clearly.
Pain point 4: device selection and component managementIt takes a long time for the engineer to select the device (inquiry for the device data sheet, price with Component Engineer or purchasing communication device), and the cost estimate is not accurate. There is no unified management of components, resulting in longer design cycles, conflicts between procurement and designers, and design of products beyond budget.
Altium Designer Solution: Supply Chain SearchAltium Desigenr's supply chain search capabilities address device selection and component management issues. As shown in the figure below, each component can be connected to its supply chain information.
Through supply chain search, engineers can greatly simplify their design steps, shorten design time, and increase productivity by doing the following.
Every component can be easily connected to its supply chain database
It is convenient to view the data sheet information datasheet of the component and optimize the design of the module circuit.
Learn about the different suppliers and supply channels for this component. Understand the component procurement cycle.
Query the unit price of the component, the price of the price, etc.
The component inventory information can be viewed. Avoid conflicting information with component purchases.
Pain point 5: How to manage massive design data and information?An important part of the design is the orderly management of many important drawings and data generated by automotive electronics design. The systematic management of these data files, as well as the mechanical design, procurement, manufacturing, processing, document archiving and other aspects of the collaborative design and the link between the links is crucial for the entire enterprise. Altium Designer offers a variety of different solutions for centralized shared management of system data.
Altium Designer Solution: Version Control and Vault ManagementAs shown in the figure below, the classic version control SVN.
Accurate control of design changers and change times with integrated version control. Use a detailed change log to compare changes and keep track of your design.
The Version Control System (VCS) provides a key link to help the design team understand when, why, and which designers have made changes. It is a standard tool for maintaining design data management.
VCS is usually independent of design tools, and Altium Designer integrates several VCSs, allowing designers to manage the best design data from within the design environment.
Vault solves data management problems:
As shown in the above figure, Vault is very powerful and basically solves the management of all design data and information in the design process. Including the following aspects:
Management of the license license system. Including activation, loading, distribution, management of licenses
Management of Component components. This component management runs through the entire design cycle and can be called from schematic design, PCB design, and design output.
Design data design data management. Including design schematics, PCB and other design drawings.
Project project management. Including project design data, BOM data, manufacturing data, assembly data and other related documents for clear classification management
Pain point 6: Automatic wiring is too unreliable! Manual wiring is too expensive!
In terms of wiring, engineers all complained that manual wiring, one by one, is the same as embroidering, too tired. It often takes hours or days to manually route, which is really a huge project, and it takes a lot of effort! Do not want to wire one by one, use the automatic routing function? Always feel so bad. Some places are winding too much, and some places are too messy. The whole wiring result looks disorganized, such as the same group of chaos, looking at the upset, it is better to personally be a piece of cloth. There are no routers with powerful points. Close to my wiring intent. And can I specify the path in the area where the wiring path needs to be made, and clean and tidy wiring according to my intention?
Altium Designer solution: Active Route
One of the new features of Altium Designer, the interactive automatic routing artifact Active Route. As a matter of fact, the great gods designers can understand at a glance. How much time and effort can this wiring artifact save you? Free you from the process of staring at the screen! Sometimes life doesn't need such a personal effort to fight, and everyone's small cloth is properly done for the main bank. what? The path is not satisfactory? The main silver you draw the root guide line guide me, the small cloth guarantees where to go, with your intentions!
Features are as follows:
Powerful autorouter, interactive automatic routing. In the past, the situation that the entire automatic wiring could not be intervened in the middle was changed.
Feel free to choose a few networks and only autoroute these selected networks.
Develop the desired routing path and instruct the autorouter to plan the routing as you wish.
After the wiring is completed, it is convenient to adjust and correct, so that the wiring effect is more reasonable and more beautiful.
