Inspect the assembly
Work with PCB and assembly geometry in 2D and 3D, alongside materials and MCAD exchange workflows.
PCB & assembly · Experimental preview
SPIKE
A local workbench for bringing PCB and assembly geometry, materials, study setup, and results into one project.
From geometry to a declared study
Inspect. Set up. Review.
Define the study
Keep the selected geometry, materials, operating assumptions, and supported analysis route together in the project.
Review the evidence
Inspect supported results and reports in the context of the setup that produced them. Check the solver documentation for coverage and requirements.
One workspace, several analysis routes.
Supported workflows cover power and signal integrity, circuits, thermal studies, and selected EM/RF and mechanical analyses. Model applicability and external-engine requirements vary by workflow; the solver status documentation records those boundaries.
SPIKE is an experimental preview. An available setup panel or imported model does not establish that a particular analysis is supported or validated.
Looking for checks inside KiCad?
WayriCAD offers independently installable plugins for design and review directly around the saved PCB, including Quick PI, Quick SI, and QuickTherm.
