Which physics constraints does Quilter support?

Quilter identifies all key physics constraints via the Circuit Comprehension interface.

Updated this week

Quilter supports a defined set of physics constraints essential for accurate and reliable PCB layouts, including impedance control, differential pair routing, length matching, high-current trace sizing, and power-plane pours.

Each supported physics constraint is clearly indicated within Quilter’s “Circuit Comprehension” interface, ensuring clarity about what Quilter actively considers during layout generation. Constraints that aren’t shown—such as high-voltage creepage and arcing calculations (usually above around 50 volts)—are not currently supported. If a physics concern isn’t reflected in Circuit Comprehension, Quilter treats it as a generic signal.

Make sure to review the Circuit Comprehension interface to confirm that your physics concerns are clearly outlined. If Quilter doesn’t already support a specific constraint you need, you can create it manually in your input file, and Quilter will respect it and finish the rest of your design during layout.
