Align to Board

Electronics > Tools > Align to Board

This tool is used to close the gap between the board and its associated IC components. Users can give either the board body or the board's top/bottom face as input. The IC component's body or its base faces that need to be made in contact with the board's top/bottom face will get translated to the board. This tool works on mesh bodies and Parasolid models imported using the 'Save geometry in database' option.

Estimate Gap

This option gives a rough estimation of the gap between the board and movable bodies.

Example

Align face

It aligns only the bottom faces of the movable bodies to the board without changing the body position.

  • Input

  • Output

Align body

It transforms the movable bodies such that the bottom faces touch the board. Here the body gets translated.

Aligning with Orientation Correction

It ensures proper alignment of chip bodies by adjusting their orientation relative to the board, even if they are slightly angled. It will correct the rotation only if the chip is tilted less than 20 degrees relative to the board.
