Electrical CAD
We provide a comprehensive range of Electrical CAD Drafting services to electrical engineering designers, Electrical product manufacturers, original product manufacturers, and electrical contractors globally to meet their custom requirements.
ECAD software provides some combination of the following capabilities.
Diagramming
Engineers use it to define the electronic components and the signals that connect them. They select components from a centrally controlled, company-standardized library.Layout capabilities provide a means to create the PCB’s outline and dimensionally place components within its boundaries. These capabilities can be utilized in either 2D or 3D models.
The list of electronic components used in the diagram is carried over to the layout, where it almost becomes a to-do list for placement. Trace Routing capabilities allow engineers to define the path the trace follows in a specific layer of the PCB between electronic components. This can be done in 2D or 3D, with switching between the layers of the PCB. The signals from the diagram, which embody from-to information between components, are carried over into the layout, which defines where each component is placed on the PCB. Automation capabilities, which automatically routes traces from components to components based on interconnect information, is available. This can be done initially and then customized
3D Assembly capabilities provide a way to create a 3D model of the PCB. These models are often used to check for interference within an enclosure as well as checking for managing the dissipation of heat from the electronic components on the PCB. Collaboration capabilities deliver tools to capture and
coordinate feedback between individuals on a team developing the routed system. Viewing capabilities provide the ability to visualize the design of the routed system. This is important for non-technical roles that do not have the skills or knowledge to use the RSD software directly.
Markup capabilities allow individuals to capture their feedback in the context of the design of the routed system. Multi-Board design capabilities provide the capabilities to diagram and layout multiple PCBs that work together as a single system. IC and PCB Co-Design capabilities offer a means to assimilate Integrated Circuits (ICs) processors into the PCB, optimizing how traces connect to compact footprints. Concurrent Design capabilities enable multiple team members to work simultaneously on the same PCB or multi-board PCB design.
Rule or Constraint Checking capabilities automatically compares the design of a PCB against industry or company rules, highlighting violations or issues that can affect the performance or manufacturability of the PCB. Manufacturing Export capabilities provide the ability to generate ECAM deliverables, which can then be used to manufacture the layers of the PCB.
Bill of Material (BOM)
capabilities automatically generates the list of electrical components for the PCB. Related Technology Enablers ECAD software can produce many different deliverables, which can be managed by Product Data Management(PDM) software. ECAD software often interchange designs with Mechanical Computer-aided Design (MCAD) software to generate a 3D model of the PCB.
