Import Padstack Definitions#

This example shows how to import padstack definitions. This includes

Download an example board
Create a config file with hole information
Create a config file with pad and anti-pad information

Import the required packages#

[1]:

import json
from pathlib import Path
import tempfile

from IPython.display import display
from ansys.aedt.core.downloads import download_file
import pandas as pd

from pyedb import Edb

AEDT_VERSION = "2024.2"

Download the example PCB data.

[2]:

temp_folder = tempfile.TemporaryDirectory(suffix=".ansys").name
file_edb = download_file(source="edb/ANSYS-HSD_V1.aedb", destination=temp_folder)

Load example layout.#

Create a config file with hole information#

Keywords

name. Name of the padstack definition.
hole_plating_thickness. Hole plating thickness.
hole_range. Supported types are ‘through’, ‘begin_on_upper_pad’, ‘end_on_lower_pad’, ‘upper_pad_to_lower_pad’.
hole_parameters.
- shape. Supported types are ‘circle’, ‘square’, ‘rectangle’.
- Other parameters are shape dependent.
  - When shape is ‘circle’, supported parameter si ‘diameter’.
  - When shape is ‘square’, supported parameter is ‘size’.
  - When shape is ‘rectangle’, supported parameters are ‘x_size’, ‘y_size’.
