Altium Designer: Enhancing Multi-Board System Design Efficiency

Experience Complete Multi-Board Product Design in Altium Designer Today!

Altium Designer offers a powerful solution for creating complex designs and error-free system interconnections. With over 20,000 companies trusting this software, Altium Designer provides key capabilities that redefine multi-board system design. One of the standout features is the ability to define comprehensive board interconnections. This feature ensures that tangled wires between boards are a thing of the past, offering various interconnection types such as direct, wire, cable, and harness. Error highlighting functionality allows users to quickly identify and rectify issues, leading to efficient design workflows.

Seamless Multi-Board Visualization and Optimization

Altium Designer excels in 3D assembly mating, enabling users to establish physical connections between PCBs with utmost precision. The flexible mating functionality simplifies the process, allowing users to select objects and manage assembly matings conveniently. Furthermore, optimizing component placement is made easy with Altium Designer. Users can seamlessly visualize and edit child boards and critical components in the context of multi-board assemblies and mechanical constraints. The bi-directional transfers with an Engineering Change Order (ECO) ensure that layout changes are accurately implemented, keeping projects up-to-date.

Ensuring Perfect Assembly Fit and Connectivity

Altium Designer's features extend to verifying assembly fit, minimizing fit issues even in dense board layouts. Precise distance measurements between assembly elements aid in identifying conflicts using the collision check tool. Visualizing design cross-sections in 3D guarantees accuracy and fit, making even tightly fitted assemblies easy to comprehend within enclosure models. Additionally, the software allows users to verify system connectivity effectively, ensuring proper connection parity among all projects. The Connection Manager displays board interconnections pin-by-pin, offering resolutions to pin conflicts and facilitating changes transfer with an ECO to individual PCBs.

Streamlining Multi-Board Documentation and Project Management

Altium Designer's ActiveBOM feature for multi-board assemblies enables users to manage all parts for each board in a system efficiently. The multi-board ActiveBOM document provides comprehensive information about physical components, suppliers, specifications, lifecycle, availability, and alternatives in one centralized location. With MCAD synchronization and 3D export capabilities, users can seamlessly synchronize multi-board designs with mechanical tools using the Altium MCAD CoDesigner or export multi-board assemblies into various formats for enhanced collaboration.
