This is a model that not only represents the component in the different design domains (Schematic Capture, 2D/3D PCB Layout) but is extended to include real-world physical component information, creating a component that spans, or rather unifies, the Design and Supply Chain arenas: a Unified Component. Vault Components - this 'next-generation' model effectively maps the concept of a design component – in the traditional electronics design arena – to the component as seen by the rest of the organization in the bigger 'product arena'.The advantage of compiling into an integrated library is that all component information is available in a single portable and secure file. All source libraries – symbol and linked models – are defined within a Library Package project ( *.LibPkg), which is subsequently compiled into a single Integrated Library file ( *.IntLib).

Other models are linked from the symbol, and component parameters are added to the symbol. Integrated Components - in this model, the higher-level component is modeled within the schematic symbol in a Schematic library file ( *.SchLib).Standard Component Libraries - Schematic Symbol ( *.SchLib) and PCB 2D/3D Component Model ( *.PcbLib) libraries.Related article: Component Management in CircuitStudioĬircuitStudio offers a variety of component management methodologies to meet your preferred approach to working with the components used in your designs.
