Native Board Import (NBI) for CATIA
NBI the bridge between ECAD and MCAD
Create a full representation of your Board within SolidWorks. Define the stack-up that should be included in the 3D import of your device. There is no limitation. With NBI all layers available within ODB++ can be converted to a 3D part and will be placed in an assembly on the right position. All objects are drawn on the SolidWorks sketcher and will be extruded with the defined value. Import everything to 3D or to a drawing. It enables to use all functions available in SolidWorks on the created import without any limitation. All data will be “native” in CATIA.
The integration of PCB’s goes the next step. Devices shirk with each spin of development. To enable your development flow being ready for connecting your 3D mechanic design to PCB’s we build NBI Native Board Import transferring all the intelligence from ODB++ to your 3D mechanic tool. NBI is ready to be used in conjunction with ODB++ and SolidWorks. Clarify important questions long before building up the first prototype.
One of the great advantages is there is no need to create different outputs from your E-CAD system. Use one data output for 2D and 3D.
