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
 
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
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...
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
