AI Thread Summary
Importing a schematic from Proteus (.dsn file) to OrCAD is not straightforward, and users suggest utilizing Capture CIS for better compatibility. One participant mentions their experience with OrCAD layout, emphasizing the need to create a schematic first and generate an MNL file for the layout process. They also highlight the importance of component specifications before finalizing the PCB design. Users are encouraged to seek guidance from knowledgeable sources, such as university instructors, for further assistance. Overall, the discussion underscores the challenges and steps involved in transitioning from Proteus to OrCAD for PCB layout.

hello,
how can i import the schematic (.dsn file) from proteus, and use it in orcad?
thanks for your answers
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
i think u can't ... but i am not sure u should use the capture cis...try it
 
hi nadine ... i was studying pcb circuits and how to make them at home.but i stopped on the capture cis only and didn't continue the layout so i sent an email to my dr. at the university and hope he is going to respond soon...(by the way r u lebanese?)
 
hi nadine i work before on layout of orcad , so if u want to make out of circuit u only to make schematic for the circuit then make mnl file from schematic then brouwse from layout for this file then run it, it will make the pcp design , there are some specification done for the size components used will ask u before it implement the design
 
i will try that
thank you
 

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
