• A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Assembly is made of a product with Parts:•The first part is divided into Bodies: -The PartBody contains the Board geometry with one pad (main pad) and drilled holes for mounting the board and for the pins of the components -The other bodies contain the Constraint Areas that delimit areas for the components and electrical routing •The second group of parts contains the Electronic Components such as Resistors, Capacitors, switches, connectors, terminators,
You will learn the two methods to design a Printed Circuit Board:Create the PCB geometry in 2 steps:Design a pad with holes in the Part Design workbench.Use the features recognition in the Circuit Board Design workbench.

This method is mainly used when the board is designed by one designer (the mechanical engineer) and then exported to the ECAD software by another one (the electrical engineer).Create the board geometry directly with Circuit Board Design workbench using the same Part Design workbench features.
