PITTSBURGH, Oct. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
/ Key Highlights
- Autodesk Fusion 360 extension will provide fast, predictively
accurate insight, helping designers achieve first-pass success in
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design
- The extension will increase consumer product designers' and
engineers' electromagnetic analysis accessibility
- Introducing simulation earlier in the design process will
empower design teams to explore and validate new PCB designs more
quickly and accelerate the development of next-generation smart
products
Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) and Autodesk are collaborating on a Printed
Circuit Board (PCB) extension, marking Autodesk Fusion 360's first
third-party extension. The extension aligns with the companies'
shared vision to increase consumer product designers' and
engineers' access to electromagnetic analysis.
Ansys and Autodesk are developing the Fusion 360 PCB extension
to enable rapid design exploration, which will help reduce costly
prototyping later in the product development process. By embedding
Ansys' market-leading electromagnetic capabilities within Fusion
360, the integration will provide Electrical CAD users with the
ability to perform near real-time PCB analyses within the Fusion
360 workflow.
"We've built the Fusion 360 platform to include comprehensive
ECAD & MCAD capabilities and manufacturing workflows in a
single environment," said Scott
Reese, executive vice president of product development and
manufacturing solutions at Autodesk. "This gives designers and
engineers the ability to develop products much more efficiently
from concept through to fabrication. Integrating industry-leading
Ansys simulation into Fusion 360's core PCB design capabilities
will help manufacturers get their products to market faster."
"This extension builds upon our existing relationship with
Autodesk and introduces electromagnetic simulation to a wider range
of designers and engineers," said Shane
Emswiler, senior vice president of products at Ansys. "The
extension enables users to validate and iterate designs sooner and
more quickly with advanced simulation."
The embedded integration builds on Fusion 360's recent release
of Ansys Electronics Database (EDB) export capability, which
enables users to easily export Ansys files and the ability to
launch Ansys Electronics Desktop. The collaboration is
consistent with prior partnership workflows aimed at breaking down
the silos between designers and analysts. Product designers
and engineers will use the Fusion 360 PCB extension to design PCBs
faster with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) compliance, and
specialist signal integrity/electromagnetic interference (SI/EMI)
analysts will continue to use Ansys Electronics Desktop for
detailed simulation and reporting of a product's electromagnetic
performance.
