Rigid-Flex Design

Advanced capabilities for designing boards with both rigid and flexible sections, including folding simulation.

Unique capabilities for creating rigid-flex boards with bend and fold simulation.

Rigid-Flex Design

Purpose:
  • Design boards containing both rigid and flexible parts
  • Ensure proper bending of flexible sections

    • Capabilities and Features:
  • Define flexible and rigid zones on the board
  • 3D modeling of flexible part bends
  • Specific design rules for flexible sections
  • Check mechanical stresses during bending
  • Generate manufacturing documentation for rigid-flex boards
    • Connections with Other Sections:
  • Closely interacts with Layer Stack Manager to define layer structure
  • Integrates with 3D Visualization to verify bends
  • Connected with Manufacturing Integration for preparing production data
