Pulsonix 13.0 Design. Innovate. Inspire
Pulsonix V13.0 - Highlights
The 2024 release of Pulsonix announces many customer-requested features providing performance related improvements and new functionality.
Below are a selection of the some of the V13.0 highlights:
IDX Collaboration Interface
The new IDX Collaboration Interface brings PCB and MCAD even closer together in the Pulsonix design environment. Drive Pulsonix into MCAD or from your MCAD system using event driven methodology, this allows you to control each stage of the mechanical integration within your PCB.
Impedance Controlled Routing
Within the High-Speed Option, you can define your Impedance Rules with impedance values and generate the Track width required to route against these values. Materials, layer thicknesses and Layer stack are used within the calculation for accuracy.
Photo-realistic Display in 3D Viewer
With Pulsonix 13, the 3D STEP Preview can now display a photo-realistic image generated using Ray and Path Tracing algorithms. Utilising the GPU, both of these algorithms display higher quality images that are more representative of the physical design.
FPGA Support
Further enhancing FPGA support within Pulsonix, version 13 introduces selectable functional logic names of a Part Pin within the design. This means Parts that have pins with multiple functional uses can be defined after placement and once the FPGA tool has been used. Functional logic names can also be imported via a CSV Import.
Flexi Boards Neutral Bending Axis
Additional folding accuracy is provided in the 3D Viewer environment with the introduction of the Neutral Bending Axis. This provides a bending ‘factor’ so that the true length of the bent shape and tracks is calculated, thus eliminating tension or compression.
Enhanced Design Item Visualisation
Layer-based Translucency, Item Hatching and patterned tracks have been introduced for this release. It means any shape item can be transparent on a per layer basis. This and patterned tracks add additional clarity to your designs.
Vault Enhancements for V13.0
Many new checks and options to enhance the Pulsonix Vault use have been added to version 13. Below are a few of the features. Read about new features here.
Vault Item Permissions
Vault Item Permissions and folder Permissions enable you to provide greater refinement
and protection to users who need access to the Vault.
Vault Item status
Within the Vault, an item can now be given a status, such as Current, Obsolete or
Discontinued for example. This is displayed in the next to the item and can be sorted
and filtered as required.
Find from Audit Trail
Double-clicking on an item in the Audit Trial History will now find the item in the vault browser and jump to it as a hyperlink enabling you to quickly locate it.
