Going through PTC Pro/Engineer Wildfire 5.0, i noticed a new enhancement which is now made available to Pro/E wildfire 5.0, that is the Spark Analysis Extension. Now to me at first it was like about as clear as mud. However as you read up on the function, tinker around with the extension and view the videos provided by PTC, the function made perfect sense. With Design any sort of product with electrical components and electricity running through it, there are two fundamental issues. They are clearance and creepage distances. Now as explained in the video, clearance distance refers to the shortest distance between electrical fields than can travel through a gas medium or in air. Creepage distances is referring to the shortest path in which electricity can flow through surfaces. Now both of these factors are important when considering the safety and reliability of the electromechanical part.
PTC-Spark Analysis Extension fully automates and highlights problem areas in which it occurs in your part or design. This saves time and money from going back to the drawing boards changing it in the design and then the prototype. The best part of this extension is changes to the clearance can be edited and then applied to the model followed by a quick retest. This make sure that you design is always to the highest standard that you can provide in your final product. Another reason why PTC Pro/Engineer Wildfire 5.0 has become so appealing to the Engineering Community
