According to Nigel Caiger, Sun Chemical’s director of digital technology, the new chemistry allows the company to formulate bespoke conductive solutions for customers’ individual requirements although the initial products are based around 20 and 40 weight percent PCB Matrix Releases Constraint Rules Editor, Free Upgraded IPC-7351 LP Calculator Des Plaines, IL – PCB Matrix Corp. released the PADS Layout Constraint Rules Editor, a software tool for PADS V5, V2004, V2005, and V2007. The editor optimizes the use of constraints and rules within PADS layout and provides constraint setup. The PADS constraint editor also speeds up rule import and has an easy to learn interface that enables users to quickly view, change, and update rules. PCB Matrix also released the free and updated V7.01 IPC 7351 Land Laird Deploys Advanced 3D Simulation Tool to Aid Design of Electronic Devices St. Louis, Mo. – Laird Technologies, Inc., deployed an advanced 3D simulation tool that aids the design of electronic devices; Laird is currently using the tool in rigorous 3D simulations for the design of complex mobile devices and advanced antenna systems. With Ansoft Corporation’s HFSS™ Distributed Solve design tool, Laird is now able to synthesize entirely new designs and evaluate advanced design concepts that were previously too complex to simulate.
