#vipergan

I’m using Blender 🔶 and #geometrynodes to visualize clearance boundaries and highlight violations in high voltage PCB designs. The design in this video is a 65W USB-C PD charger using STMicroelectronics #ViperGaN. I’ve shown most of the net classes I created, with Blender I can also include not only the PCB tracks, but also the component bodies when visualizing clearance boundaries and zones. In this design, there is a violation between the electrolytic capacitor casing on the high voltage primary side and the secondary isolated side. This type of violation is generally not detected by PCB design tools as they implement clearance rules in 2 dimensions (X&Y). This project is available in Altium Community Projects if you want to have a look. Also be sure to watch the video series on Altium YouTube channel to see how I used Altium’s new Constraint Manager for this project. #b3d #blender3d #engineering #electronics #hardware #science #pcbdesign #altium #kicad #engineering #rendering #usbc #power #Chargers #physics #safety #smartphone #voltage #simulation #visualart #art
