Reply To: SIwave ODB++ import problem from Altium

[Mario Di Marino]

Hi Armin,

Unfortunately no, after a few attempts I gave up.

I switched to the IPC format; I didn't notice any differences between simulations carried out using the different formats so I think they are equivalent. (I only did thermal simulations so I'm not sure).

The only differences I noticed are that the layers of the board must not have spaces in the name (I advise you to change the names in the layer stack manager inside Altium) and that the coordinates of the components change between the various formats therefore the component files created for ODB are not compatible with files made with IPC. (I actually didn't try to solve this problem, I preferred to restart the project with the IPC files).

I hope I was helpful to you.

Greetings,

Mario
