brd文件导入ICEPAK出现的error，已解决！

1. 我使用的软件是ansys 19.0里的icepak，硬件工程师使用的是Cadence17.2，
在BLOCKS的ECAD geometry中，我将brd格式的文件导入ICEPAK，出现以下警告，

警告说是 "could not find application extracta.exe "
但是我在D:\Cadence\SPB_17.2\tools\bin  发现有extracta.exe，请问怎么解决？

2. 在E:\product\F4280R\F4280R_icepak\F4280R_icepak_files\dp0\IPK\Icepak\IcepakProj 里有个文件import_log
里面内容如下：
Icepak version: 19.0

这个error提示了什么，怎么解决？


参考《ANSYS Icepak Users Guide》6.6.2. Importing Trace Files，必须安装Cadence Allegro，并且按照以下要求设置环境变量。

Note
• BRD/MCM import uses your Cadence installation and accesses local environment variables that
were automatically set during the Cadence installation. If you are accessing Cadence across your
network instead of locally, you will need to set additional environment variables. For example,
if your Cadence installation is located in the mapped network location V:\SPB_16.6, add the following variables:
set CDSROOT=V:\SPB_16.6
set CHDL_LIB_INST_DIR=V:\SPB_16.6
set PATH=%PATH%;V:\SPB_16.6\tools\pcb\bin;V:\SPB_16.6\tools\bin
• On Linux, you must include the following paths to the Cadence software in your search paths:
your_Cadence_install_dir/tools/bin
your_Cadence_install_dir/tools/pcb/bin
Refer to the Cadence Installation Guide for more details.
• Cadence, ODB++, and binary ANF import require the installation of ECADTranslators.
• When you import traces using option 2, the board has to be first imported in the XY plane. All
subsequent transformations (translation, rotation or mirroring) of the board can then be started
from the default XY plane. When you import traces using option 1, the board can be imported
in any of the three planes: XY, YZ, or XZ. The board can then be translated, rotated or mirrored
similar to the previous case.

如果是要导入BRD的trace信息。需要你的电脑也安装allegro才可以，不然导入时无法对brd文件进行转换。

我也遇到了相同的问题。。。

我当初也碰到过这样的问题，然后就把各个格式都试了一遍，发现就IDF能行。楼主要是没有解决这个问题，然后又比较急的话可以试试这个方法。

我们硬件是奥腾导出来的 brd pro 然后icepak中 点击  import--IDF file --new   没有问题。你可以试试

请问楼主这个问题解决了么？还有我们输入的铜的质量分数，每层铜的质量占什么总质量的质量分数，是和FR4的质量比例么

icepak 19好像确认有这个问题，我电脑上之前用16是OK的，现在换了icepak19就无法导入brd了。

5楼大哥，我这边安装了allegro，但是还是存在转换问题，是缺少插件吗？

我今天刚遇到这个问题，我怀疑是brd文件被加密软件加密了。不光这个，DM中导入step文件，如果加密了的话，也是出错的。导入没有加密的brd和step 不存在这个问题
