place_a3dcomp_3d_placement#

Stackup.place_a3dcomp_3d_placement(a3dcomp_path, angle=0.0, offset_x=0.0, offset_y=0.0, offset_z=0.0, place_on_top=True)[source]#

Place a 3D Component into current layout.: 3D Component ports are not visible via EDB. They will be visible after the EDB has been opened in Ansys Electronics Desktop as a project.

Parameters:

a3dcomp_pathstr: Path to the 3D Component file (*.a3dcomp) to place.
angledouble, optional: Clockwise rotation angle applied to the a3dcomp.
offset_xdouble, optional: The x offset value. The default value is 0.0.
offset_ydouble, optional: The y offset value. The default value is 0.0.
offset_zdouble, optional: The z offset value. (i.e. elevation) The default value is 0.0.
place_on_topbool, optional: Whether to place the 3D Component on the top or the bottom of this layout. If False then the 3D Component will also be flipped over around its X axis.

Returns:

bool: True if successful and False if not.
