Key Features

Schematic Capture

The most widely used and versatile schematic design environment with integrations into Snap Magic, SamacSys, and Ultra Librarian, providing instant access to millions of component models. Tight coupling with PCB layout supports full cross-probing and makes annotating design changes seamless.

Mixed Signal Simulation

Pspice, the most recognized SPICE simulator on the market, has comprehensive analysis capabilities covering Bias Point, DC sweep, AC sweep, Transient analysis (with Temperature), Monte Carlo, and parametric sweep.

Constraint Management

Simplified management of all physical and electrical requirements across all components and net objects in your schematic and PCB layout design with the industry's leading constraint interface.

Dynamic Fabrication and Assembly Documentation

Create comprehensive and professional PCB documentation in minutes. Changes in the PCB design are automatically reflected in Live DOC, removing error-prone manual updating typically required to keep the design and documentation in synch.

Real-Time 3D Visualization

Create realistic 3D renderings of your design for documentation, presentation, and assembly. Identify mechanical clearance or alignment issues early between components, product enclosure, board shape, and mounting holes, reducing costly and time-consuming redesign.

MCAD Collaboration

Resolve cross-domain communication challenges between electrical and mechanical engineers by utilizing the industry standard exchange format - IDX. Changes can be driven from either MCAD or ECAD and support the major MCAD providers – Dassault Systèmes® SOLIDWORKS and CATIA, Siemens® NX, Autodesk® Fusion™, and PTC® Creo.

Design Review and Markup

Intuitively collaborate on designs through a native interface supporting graphical markup and commenting. Actions can be assigned to participants, cataloging and simplifying the design review process. Comments can be removed from the design by exporting an archive, which not only preserves but also protects the conversations from resources outside your organization.

Data Management

Improve engineering efficiency by managing your work in progress with centralized data management. All content is version-managed and is accompanied by a complete change history for audit and traceability. Distributed content is readily accessible through shared workspaces, facilitating a more effective means of collaboration and communication with both internal and external resources.
