Net Analysis and Net Groups Component Connection

Create Net Groups to highlightfunctions instead of only a net.

In many times it is necessary to keep some net away from others.With the Net Group Analysis the whole Group is analyzed for a certain distance.

EMC is very important for a electronic device.

A Net Filter allows you to go fast through the components and highlight the signals.

Crossing signals with impact to EMC go to the foreground and can be saved as a to-do list. Share this list with the Team.

Panel Builder/ Multi Board 3D Net View

Utilize ODB++ to combine Printed Circuit Boards makes it possible to use different CAD programs. All Information included like Net names and Component attributes.

Highlight connections also in 3D. All selected objects will be transferred to 3D.

Mechanic Developer Support

Catia Export

Export the whole Assembly and simulate the fitting in the housing.

Export the drill layer - including size and net connection - to simulate screwing to the housing.

Export a whole Signal Layer and simulate the temperature or Twist and Bow.

DXF Export Tool independent

Enable Extrusion by creating closed polygons from any net. Reduce vertex count to import fast in any 3D App.
