Metal Catalog

Metal catalog, conductors

Use the metal and MetalCatalog functions to select and customize different metals used in printed circuit boards (PCB). Explore different conductor materials and model the conductivity and thickness of the metal to optimize the PCB design and reduce resistive losses.
