We want to search for all references to LF411, so in the search text field at the top of the Libraries Search dialog, type *LF411*.Ensure that the Include Subdirectories option is enabled (ticked). Click on the folder icon to browse to the library folder, if necessary.

If you accepted the default directories during installation, the path should be similar to \Public Documents\Altium\AD14\Library\.

Click on the Libraries tab to display the Libraries workspace panel.Locating Components and Loading Librariesįirst, we will search for the op amp component, LF411CN. In this section of the tutorial, we will locate the components required, set up their component properties and then wire the schematic. Before we can run a simulation, the schematic must contain components with SIM models attached, voltage sources to power the filter, an excitation source, a ground reference for the simulations and some net labels on the points of the circuit where we wish to view waveforms.

Now we can create the Filter circuit shown below. Navigate to a location where you would like to store the schematic on your hard disk, type the name Filter.SchDoc in the File Name field and click on Save. SchDoc extension) by selecting File » Save As. Rename the new schematic file (with a.A blank schematic sheet named Sheet1.SchDoc displays in the design window of the Schematic Editor and the schematic sheet is now listed under Source Documents beneath the project name in the Projects panel. Creating a New Schematic SheetĬreate a new schematic sheet by completing the following steps: If you do not have the time to draw the schematic from scratch, you can download a similar project Filter.PrjPCB from the Download Examples and Reference Designs page. This schematic will be for a Filter circuit. Next, we will create a new schematic sheet to add to the empty project file. Navigate to a suitable location, type the name Filter.PrjPCB in the File Name field, and click on Save. Save and rename the new project file by selecting File » Save Project As.The new project file, PCB Project1.PrjPCB, is listed, with no documents added. Select File » New » Project » PCB Project from the menus.To start the tutorial, create a new PCB project: We will start by creating a new project file and then add a blank schematic sheet. This tutorial takes you through the process of creating a simulation-ready schematic, which is then used to run a number of circuit simulation analyses.
