Altair PollEx

What is Altair PollEx?

Design and engineering require a view of products and systems at the system level. The integrated design of mechanical and electronic behavior is a trademark of current product development. Based on a solid foundation of mechanical simulation software, Altair has expanded into systems simulation and electromagnetic areas. Altair's Pollex PCB scan and solution tools extend these capabilities to a new domain, allowing Altair to provide software for system-level design decisions.

Altair PollEx is the most comprehensive and integrated set of PCB design visualization, analysis and verification tools on the market for electrical, electronic and manufacturing engineers. PollEx is an open solution that transfers flawless data between different simulation and ECAD environments. While PCB design tools are traditionally reserved for PCB design engineers, engineers from other disciplines such as hardware design, manufacturing, testing, and mechanics also need to access, review, and analyze pcb design and manufacturing data and their integrated circuit (IC) packages.

PollEx provides unmatched connectivity to all relevant ECAD systems and formats, as well as third-party PCB simulation software, and brings Design for Excellence (DfX) through a common application and a powerful set of rule-based design checks that address post-design process constraints at the outset. design stages.

Its many features include querying, measuring, locating objects, and multiple reports. PollEx operates in an open environment, which can transfer data flawlessly between different simulation and ECAD environments.

Why Altair PollEx?

Modelador PCB

Quickly visualize and explore PCB design data from all major industry formats.

Solvers PCB

Investigate printed circuit board (SI) signal integrity and thermal problems with unprecedented speed and ease of use.

PCB Verification

Powerful set of PCBs design verification tools for electrical, manufacturing and assembly.

Main features

Modelador PCB

PollEx PCB Modeler reads entire PCB design data quickly in an intuitive and flexible interface to explore project details. Users can query, measurement, find objects, view topologies, analyze networks, compare PCB projects, and receive import and export support for all standard ECAD packages and PCB layout formats.

Unified parts editor

Upe (PollEx PCB Unified Part Editor) is a unified electronic part data management software that allows users to create and edit part data (from manufacturers including physical, logical, thermal, electrical, manufacturing, and testing); generate part data using automatic and manual generation wizards (including 3D package geometry for mechanical design); manage assembly data for assembly analysis and control (of specific equipment); and supports many formats and tools from EDA vendors.

Solvers PCB

PollEx PCB solvents investigate signal integrity (SI) and thermal board issues thanks to intuitive, easy-to-use solvers, fully integrated with PollEx PCB Modeler and Unified Part Editor (UPE). Included are the efficient domain SI solvers, supporting the SPICE and IBIS model for delay in wave propagation, reflection, diaphony, eye diagrams, dispersion matrix calculations, intake and impedance.

PCB Verification

Reduce time and cost by detecting errors, defects, and failures in the early stages of the project. PollEx PCB Verification includes the most comprehensive set of rule-based design checks for electrical engineering, manufacturing, and assembly, enhanced through the solver's analysis capabilities. It is used by electrical and manufacturing engineers who analyze possible manufacturing defects and component collisions during the assembly process.

Logic

PollEx PCB Logic is a design viewer that reads the design data of various design tools. It shows queical objects, logical symbols, network connections, and other related objects in individual project sheets. By combining objects, users can easily identify the location in the worksheet and the attributes of the object. BOM files can also be extracted from the project's quematic data.

ECAD Connectivity

The various PollEx tools read all common ECAD file formats, including: ODB ++, IPC 2581, Gerber, Altium, Cadence, CADVANE, EAGLE, Mentor Graphics, PowerPCB, Zuken, CAM350
