Importing inforamtion from Altium into Solidworks

Frank Phelps May 28, 2015 1:08 PM

I am wanting to bring Altium PCB models and run flow simulation analysis in Solidworks enclosures. Is there a way to put the wattage information for each of the chips in Altium, then bring that information over into Solidworks? Right now we are just creating STEP files transfering the model that way. Any ideas? Anything better? Thanks in advance.

I am not too familiar with Altium processes, so I am not sure. I am also not sure if there is some macro out there that can do this. I do know that Flow 2014 and above can import wattage information from Circuitworks. Is there any way to easily transfer an Altium file into Circuitworks?

  Good one Shivani....
  Also, try (.brd) Board file format for Export from Altrium ---> Circuitworks and the same format fro Import too !!!

  Refer the link for Transfer from Altrium to SolidWorks.
