Altium Ltd. has released a new extension for Altium Designer, its flagship PCB (printed circuit board) design tool. MCAD Co-Designer: SolidWorks, according to the company, helps coordinate collaboration between mechanical and electronic design teams through integrated design data, a managed change environment for design revisions and lifecycle management.
The extension is now available for current and potential users of the Designer platform. Its main features include:
- Managed design revision that allow users to change component placement and board shape within their own respective environments.
- Integrated design data that can be exported to MCAD software with included copper information necessary for thermal, vibration and mechanical simulations.
- Distinct workflows and lifecycles that enable designers to work on models independently in both design environments and then unify multiple workflows into a component model.
