Solutions

Testing your board to identify potential problems prior to fabrication is important to reduce costs. Being in contact with your manufacturing partner and testing your board, helps you avoid costly re-spins and field failures by validating design manufacturability at design-time instead of post-design.

Minimize design errors and get to market faster by reusing your existing verified technology. Reusing proven design IP saves you the time and burden of designing each project from scratch. Improve your productivity with a streamlined PCB design process, so you have more time for creating.

Easily visualize how your board will flex and bend to ensure proper fit and function. The 3D interactive canvas lets you visualize your end-product in 3D as you design in real-time with greater accuracy.

Make informed decisions as you place and route with real-time feedback. Design automation and a constraint driven flow helps you reduce routing time. No matter the density, easily tackle design simple and complex routes with the many different routing options – any angle, scribble, contour, slide, push, hug, delay tune and more.

Your PCB designs need to be electrically, mechanically and thermally dependable. To optimize your designs for cost, manufacturability, and reliability you need to make informed decisions. DFM rule checks and advanced real-time analysis allows you to create reliable boards that have a long durability and work optimally right from the start.

Simulating helps with identifying and resolving component limitations. Utilize the advanced analysis capabilities to find the right balance of cost, manufacturing yield, and design reliability without sacrificing performance in your design.
