Components and Constraints
This task explains how to manage components given the component constraint type.
Open the Scenario3.idf file and the corresponding Scenario3.lib file from the samples folder.
An Assembly Product document is generated.
If the configuration you are using provides access to the Assembly Design workbench, geometrical constraints
are created between the board and the components, and are displayed.
Within the assembly, the board needs to be anchored.
Page 71
79
1. Double-click the power-jack constraint shown here in red.
The Constraint Definition dialog box opens.
The Assembly constraints (geometrical constraints) linking the components to the board depend on the
component status.
Component Status
Assembly Constraint
Unplaced
No Constraint
Placed
Plane to Plane Constraint
Fixed
Fixity Constraint
This information is transmitted through the import file (.idf), the component capability to change location is
then driven by the constraint.
Under certain circumstances, a component status can be modified:
●
from unplaced to placed or fixed
●
from placed to fixed
but never from fixed to placed or unplaced, nor from placed to unplaced (in order to keep the information
defined in the ECAD world).
Page 72
80
2. Editing the constraint, using the More>> button, lets you modify the offset between the component
and the board (IDF 3.0):
The IDF 3.0 takes into account the offset which represents a mounting constraint of the component
onto the board.
The offset is also managed between the board and the panel.

Page 97
105
Importing Using a Catalog
This task explains how to import data from an IDF file, where the component 3D geometry is imported from a catalog.
1. Open the Import.idf document from the sample directory.
The .idf file contains the location of the components in the circuit board assembly.
You can use a library and/or a catalog to get a better geometry of the components:
●
the .lib file contains the 2D footprint geometry of the components.
●
the .catalog contains the 3D (exact) geometry of the components.
However, none of these files are mandatory.
You can choose between several alternatives:
●
●
open a library only: the 3D geometry is extruded from the 2D geometry
open a library and use an existing catalog:
❍
the component exists in the catalog, its 3D geometry is imported from the catalog
❍
●
●
open a library and a new catalog: the 3D geometry is extruded from the 2D geometry and stored in the
newly created catalog
open no library, but a catalog:
❍
the component exists in the catalog, its 3D geometry is imported from the catalog
❍
●
the component does not exist in the catalog, it is extruded from the 2D geometry and stored in the
catalog if the catalog is not protected (Catalog in read/write mode box is not checked)
the component does not exist in the catalog, it is created with no associated geometry
open neither library nor catalog, the component has no associated geometry.
The Circuit Board Design dialog box opens.
The first light is green: the selection is valid.
The second light is yellow: you can choose a library (optional).
Page 98
106

❍
❍
The Catalog in read/write mode option preserves your catalog from overwriting.
Associate a csv file to catalog allows you to select a mapping table (csv format): the matrix gives the
equivalence between the ECAD and MCAD references.
Note: If no components are available in the idf file, the light is disabled (no color).
4. Browse using the
button and select the Import.catalog file.
The light becomes green.
The Status bar indicates the progression. The import is completed.
Note that if you have set a catalog in the Options, it will be proposed by default.
Page 99
107
Catalog
This task explains how to insert a component into a document from a catalog.
The integration with the Catalog workbench lets you have access to the advanced catalog capabilities such as the
component drag and drop.
For more information about Catalogs, refer to CATIA - Infrastructure User's Guide.
1. Open a catalog using Start -> Infrastructure -> Catalog Editor and choose the Preview tab.
2. Open a new CATProduct document.
3. Tile the windows horizontally. It looks like this:
4. Select the components you want to insert into the CATProduct.
5. Drag and drop it onto the Product.
An alternative is to copy then paste it (Ctrl-c then Ctrl-v)
The components are copied in the CATProduct document
Using a CSV File
Page 100
108
Most of the time, the component position on the board and its part number have origin coordinates and references which are different according
to the environment taken into account (ECAD or MCAD).
To import or export data respecting the original environment, it is possible to use a csv (comma delimited-like format) file together with a
catalog. The default column separator used by CBD for csv files is the semi-colon ";".
A line in the CSV file is made up of a pair "keyword - value" separated by semi-colons.
The csv file contains a positioning matrix drawing up the mapping between the mechanical and electrical references: the matrix defines the
translation on dx and dy as well as the rotation teta around dz axis to be applied to the catalog component.
Let's see an example:
package name;resistor: corresponds to the package number of the MCAD component.
part number;RES11: corresponds to the part number of the MCAD component.
dx;10: indicates a translation to the x axis direction.
dy;10: indicates a translation to the y axis direction.
dz;0: indicates a translation to the z axis direction.
teta;30: indicates a rotation around the z axis.
package name;resistorELEC: corresponds to the package number of the respective ECAD component.
part number;RES11ELEC: corresponds to the part number of the ECAD component.
The component references (part number and package number) can also be different and are stored in the csv file.
When a csv file has been used for import, this option is stored in the temporary user settings. If you export your data again, the option will be
checked.
In Assembly context, move the components on the board respecting the constraints.
Launch the DMU Space Analysis to perform a clash check.
