August 5, 2014. Seven specialists from LEPSE (a member enterprise of Uralvagonzavod Corporation based in Kirov) attended a training course on working with AltiumDesigner, a multi-faceted system for computer-aided design of radio-electronic equipment.

According to the corporation’s press service, the company will now design its printed circuits in 3D, with bidirectional data transfer onto mechanical CAD systems (including the SolidWorks the company has been using).

‘The basic forty-hour course gave the engineers an idea of how the system works. This necessary crash course baggage will help them avoid obvious mistakes and boost an independent and deeper study of the software package. The editing application allows a designer to create schemes of any degree of complexity as well as do hybrid digital-analog simulation. The program library contains over 90,000 ready components. The system also provides powerful tools for interactive use of components and tracking, which, in combination with the intuitive and fully visualizable design guidelines setting system, makes the design of electronic means as easy as possible,’ LEPSE says.

The system both improves the process of making new products and considerably reduces the time necessary for developing models of already existing electronic units that are necessary for designing interactive technologies.
