From Altium to Simulation: Workflows for Virtual Tests for PCB Designers

Thomas Benke from LEAP’s Electronics Team was invited to speak at Altium Designer 24 launch event in Sydney. This post offers a series of highlights from that presentation, covering industry trends, the recently announced Altium-Ansys Smart Bridge (including a live demonstration), followed by a discussion of typical simulation examples including PCB analysis.

Moving towards a Comprehensive Virtual PCB Testing Platform

Trends such as such as Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things (IoT), drones, smart home technology and autonomous vehicles are continuing to push PCB technology to its limits. Electronics engineers are now needing to focus on more than just the electromagnetics aspects of PCB design, and are increasingly concerned about power consumption, thermal & vibration issues linked to reliability concerns in harsh environments.
