Zuken introduces the Board Modeler. The collaborative software tool docks into Zuken’s electronic systems and CR-5000 PCB design suite, enabling layout and mechanical engineers to work together.
 
Users are able to work in a 3D environment, showing the actual component shape rather than an approximation. Board outlines, pre-placed parts and obstacles can be imprinted directly from mechanical CAD tools, eliminating duplicate work.
 
Board layout structures can be exported into numerical simulation tools for mechanical, electrical or thermal verification. Simulation results can be back annotated into CR-5000 tools for design modifications.
 
In addition, a multi-board option allows multiple-board design verification and chassis on a multi-site global basis.
