ECAD Hybrid Modeling
Description
This is a special purpose meshing tool used for meshing ECAD Models imported as a Hybrid model. In this approach:
- Dielectrics are imported as solid bodies.
- Signal Layers are imported as sheet bodies.
- Vias are imported as wire bodies.
Input
Selected ECAD bodies will be listed in PCB bodies.
Board Mesh size
It defines the Mesh size on solid bodies. The output will have Hex/Wedge elements.
Signal Layers
- Mesh size
- It defines the Mesh size on sheet bodies.
- Element type
- TRI3 and Quad4 elements are supported.
Vias
Wire bodies will be treated as Vias, it will have node matching with the signal layers. Mesh on vias can be controlled using mesh size or number of elements.
