Glossary of terms

3D Visualization

Photorealistic 3D rendering of PCB designs to verify mechanical fit and component clearances.

Photorealistic board representation for evaluating mechanical compatibility and ergonomics.

3D Visualization

Purpose:
  • Three-dimensional representation of the printed circuit board and components
  • Evaluation of mechanical aspects of the design

  • Capabilities and Features:
  • Realistic visualization of all components in 3D
  • Checking for mechanical collisions and clearances
  • Integration with MCAD systems for enclosure compliance verification
  • Interactive movement and rotation of the 3D model
  • Distance measurement and dimension checking in 3D space
  • Connections with Other Sections:
  • Tightly integrated with PCB Editor
  • Interacts with MCAD CoDesigner for 3D data exchange
  • Connected with Component Library Manager for obtaining 3D models of components



  • 3D Visualization in Verification & Visualization
