Key Feature 2 – 3D Component Priority & ECAD-MCAD
Workflow Improvements
A new mechanism allowing users to set explicit geometric priority rules for 3D components, improving the capability when ECAD and MCAD
geometry coexists, such as PCBs with magnetic components.
Problems it Solves
• When MCAD magnetic components accompany
ECAD PCBs, difficulties are introduced if overlaps
occur.
• Users previously had no control over component
precedence in intersection resolution
Key Capabilities
• Set Component Priority dialog for ECAD-MCAD
coexistence
• Priority rules applied to conductor/dielectric
intersections
• Works across both Transient A-Phi & AC Magnetic
A-Phi workflows
What It Is
Benefits
• Eliminates geometry-related solve failures
• Ensures correct material ownership in overlapped regions
• Enables integrated PCB and power magnetic components
