These cloud platforms all start with a CAD tool integration to bring in design data from SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, etc., but what about PCB design? If you’re on 3DEXPERIENCE, you can easily integrate Altium Designer into your cloud-based product development process. The Collaborative Designer for Altium Designer, also referred to as the Altium Connector, provides an immersive environment to manage Altium Designer schematics, PCB layouts, and libraries within the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. It leverages the team collaboration capabilities of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to facilitate a real time, concurrent PCB design process and library development resulting in fewer engineering changes and lower production costs. As changes are made to the schematic and layout, they can be synchronized through forward and backward annotation files accessed through shared 3DEXPERIENCE workspace folders. This enables better control of electrical design data and flexible configuration management, and organizations and users are able to easily maintain multiple revision trees of designs. When a schematic design is changed and checked back into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, the layout designer is immediately notified that changes have been made to the design.
The collaboration workflow of an Altium design and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform can be seen below.
