Examples#
End-to-end examples show how you can use PyAEDT. If PyAEDT is installed on your machine, you can download these examples as Python files or Jupyter notebooks and run them locally.
Note
Some examples require additional Python packages.
EDB examples#
EDB is a powerful API for efficiently controlling PCB data.
You can either use EDB standalone or embedded in HFSS 3D Layout in AEDT.
The EDB class in now part of the PyEDB package, which is currently installed with PyAEDT and backward-compatible with PyAEDT.
All EDB related examples have been moved
to the Examples page in the PyEDB
documentation.
These examples use EDB (Electronics Database) with PyAEDT.
# Launch the latest installed version of AEDB.
import pyaedt
edb = pyaedt.Edb("mylayout.aedb")
# You can also launch EDB directly from PyEDB.
import pyedb
edb = pyedb.Edb("mylayout.aedb")
