Version 6.1

Autoplacer und Autorouter

Optional shape-based autorouter using modern multi-pass cost-based conflict reduction adaptive routing algorithm.

The Pulsonix autorouter delivers an extra dimension of auto-routing performance for Pulsonix users with fast, high completion rate auto-routing on the most densely packed, multi-layer PCB designs. A high performance router delivering minimal overall track lengths and via counts; the Pulsonix autorouter provides the ideal routing solution for large or complex designs.

Using a modern multi-pass cost-based conflict reduction algorithm to find a routing solution adapting to the natural flow of the nets. Adaptive routing algorithm is the only proven approach to reach high completion rates on the modern generation of designs.

The Pulsonix autorouter gives you the quality of routing results frequently associated with manually routed designs. Plus, speed and completion rates normally only associated with auto-routers much more expensive.
The Pulsonix autorouter is integrated into the Pulsonix PCB design environment, so, no exporting of designs or importing results. Just click and run.

Autoplacer:
 

• Fully integrated into Pulsonix PCB Layout
• Recognizes user defined Keep-in/Keep-out areas for placement and board cut-outs
• Separate autoplace rotation limits on thru hole and SMT components
• User defined component to component spacing limitations
• User defined component grid
• Flips SMTs to reverse side of board - menu option
• "Cluster Place" option allows start point for the first part interactively
• Selection of next component to autoplace based on connectivity or pin count
• Segment fit, will attempt to match parts with an equal length segments - menu option
• Auto Pin & Gate swap, on same part only or between parts
• User definable number of passes on placement and pin & gate swap

Autorouter:

• Fully integrated into Pulsonix PCB Layout
• Mitered orthogonal, or angled tracks
• Supports single sided routing
• Up to 16 routing layers plus power and ground layers
• Routes SMDs on both sides of the board
• SMD fan-out pass option
• Supports blind/buried/staggered vias
• Routing grid down to 1 thou, plus sub-grid (between traces) routing, or gridless routing may be selected
• User definable maximum vias on track, or "zero vias" routing
• User defined Keep/in and Keep/out areas on routes
• Full support of T-connections, incomplete tracks for SMT-via preplacement
• User selectable individual net/track width constraints
• Full post-route optimization to produce manufacturable PCB designs (cleanup)
• Automatic redesign of existing projects (re-entrant routing)
• On-screen visible routing, rip-up etc. - Several user-controlled modes and routing cost factors
• Supports any geometry of items including polygon-with-arc obstacles
