Tech Tip: 3D Kollisions- und Abstandsprüfungen im Multi-Board Design
Die Überprüfung auf potenzielle elektromechanische Kollisionen wird normalerweise eher im mechanischen Umfeld durchgeführt. Die Verlagerung der Prüfung in den elektrischen Bereich während der Komponentenplatzierung kann jedoch dazu beitragen, ein zuverlässigeres Produkt zu entwickeln. In Design Force gibt es integrierte Checks, die den Entwurf auf Kollisionen und Abstandsvorgaben prüfen.
