Technical Documentation PCB CoDesign As the saying goes, many hands make light work. One of the long-held dreams of board designers is to be able to have multiple people working on the same board at the same time. While this task might not seem overly complex to the layman – take Bob’s routing from that part of the board and bring it into my copy of the board – delivering it requires a mixture of certain key capabilities. These…

Technical Documentation Ansys CoDesigner Due to the complexity of modern electronic products featuring high-speed and RF circuits, intensive communication between PCB and simulation engineers is required during the PCB design process, and this communication should be as clear and simple for both sides as possible. It is not sufficient to export a design changed by the PCB engineer or optimized by the simulation engineer and pass it to…
