EDB editor

An AEDB database is a folder that contains the database representing any part of a PCB. It can be opened and edited using the Edb class.

Edb([edbpath, cellname, isreadonly, ...])

Provides the EDB application interface.

from pyaedt import Edb
# this call returns the Edb Class initialized on 2022 R1
edb = Edb(myedb, edbversion="2022.1")

EDB modules

This section lists the core EDB modules for reading and writing information to AEDB files.

components.Components	Manages EDB components and related method accessible from Edb.core_components property.
hfss.EdbHfss	Manages EDB method to configure Hfss setup accessible from Edb.core_hfss property.
siwave.EdbSiwave	Manages EDB methods related to Siwave Setup accessible from Edb.core_siwave property.
nets.EdbNets	Manages EDB methods for nets management accessible from Edb.core_nets property.
padstack.EdbPadstacks	Manages EDB methods for nets management accessible from Edb.core_padstack property.
layout.EdbLayout	Manages EDB methods for primitives management accessible from Edb.core_primitives property.
stackup.EdbStackup	Manages EDB methods for stackup and material management accessible from Edb.core_stackup property.

from pyaedt import Edb
edb = Edb(myedb, edbversion="2022.1")

# this call returns the EdbHfss Class
comp = edb.core_hfss

# this call returns the Components Class
comp = edb.core_components

# this call returns the EdbSiwave Class
comp = edb.core_siwave

# this call returns the EdbPadstacks Class
comp = edb.core_padstack

# this call returns the EdbStackup Class
comp = edb.core_stackup

EDB data classes

These classes are the containers of data read from the EDB file:

EDB_Data.EDBLayer	Manages EDB functionalities for a layer.
EDB_Data.EDBLayers	Manages EDB functionalities for all primitive layers.
EDB_Data.EDBPadProperties	Manages EDB functionalities for pad properties.
EDB_Data.EDBPadstack	Manages EDB functionalities for a padstack.
EDB_Data.EDBPadstackInstance	Manages EDB functionalities for a padstack.
EDB_Data.EDBComponent	Manages EDB functionalities for components.
EDB_Data.EDBNetsData	Manages EDB functionalities for a primitives.
EDB_Data.EDBPrimitives	Manages EDB functionalities for a primitives.
siwave.SiwaveDCSetupTemplate	Siwave DC Settings Data Class.

from pyaedt import Edb
edb = Edb(myedb, edbversion="2022.1")

# this call returns the EDBLayers Class
layer = edb.core_stackup.stackup_layers

# this call returns the EDBLayer Class
layer = edb.core_stackup.stackup_layers.layers["TOP"]
