OPTIONS/CONTROLS

Model Type

Click drop down list to choose a model type. Below model types are available:

  • Footprint - physical layout that is required on the printed circuit board in order to mount a component or physical attachment.
  • PCB3D - add a 3D model to the component. 
  • Simulation - add a spice model to the component if you want to run a circuit simulation.
  • Ibis Model - add an Ibis model to enhance the modeling of IC pins while performing Signal Integrity analyses.
  • Signal Integrity - add a Signal Integrity model to configure and control signal integrity analyses.
Adding a model type from the component's property dialog only affects the selected component. To add a model type to components by default and thus show up any time you place a schematic symbol, add the necessary model type(s) to components from the PCB Editor - Defaults page of the Preferences dialog (DXP» Preferences).
Components must have at least one Footprint in the Model area. Otherwise errors occur when synchronizing the schematic to PCB.
