Zuken Board Modeler Lite 6.1 with CADSTAR Links MCAD, EDA
 MUNICH,
GERMANY and WESTFORD, MA, USA, Jan 11, 2012 -
Zuken announces a new version of Board Modeler Lite that offers significant
productivity enhancements during board layout design.
Board Modeler Lite 6.1 - available now with CADSTAR 13.0 bridges the process between MCAD and ECAD
design flows by offering a common platform to communicate between the two
disciplines. Board Modeler Lite helps resolve issues during the exchange of
data between mechanical and electronic design and provides a forum during
PCB layout to conduct electromechanical analysis early in the design
process, with accurate 3D measurement and interference checks.
Improved productivity and performance
Improvements to Board Modeler Lite’s user interface and interactive editing of 3D models include
subtraction, fillet, and chamfer of component bodies to improve accuracy of
assembly inspection. Other editing enhancements include modifying part
origins to remedy discrepancies between MCAD and ECAD libraries. Board
Modeler Lite includes support for the SpaceNavigator 3D mouse to enhance the
visual navigation of 3D designs and component models.
Jeroen Leinders, CADSTAR distribution manager, says: "With Board Modeler
Lite, both MCAD and ECAD departments can now check the physical constraints
using visualization and analysis at any point of the design process. Because
an accurate model of the PCB and its detailed 3D components is transferred,
users can easily check for any potential collisions between the PCB and its
surroundings.”
Reduce modeling effort with 3D Model Wizard
Board Modeler Lite
includes a 3D Model Wizard for parametric part creation of common component
packages and custom programmable devices, such BGAs and FPGAs, as well as
connectors, diodes, LEDs, transistors and more. Models created can be stored
in STEP or SAT format, and can be reused as part of a common library for
Board Modeler Lite and 3D MCAD systems.
New features in CADSTAR 13.0
Board Modeler Lite 6.1 and CADSTAR Board
Modeler Lite 3D Wizards are among several new modules and upgrades available
in CADSTAR version 13.0. Key feature enhancements in CADSTAR 13.0 include:
improved drill drawing creation; improved DXF import; improved features for
high-speed routing; and an IDF interface.
