InterComm® electronic design software is a powerful, yet easy-to-use application that provides both visual and programmatic access to normalized EDA design data from all major system-level EDA tools. The InterComm solution allows you to find, examine, manipulate, markup and communicate schematic, PCB, Gerber, and bill-of materials data.
InterComm improves the efficiency, productivity and communication between your globally dispersed design, engineering, test and manufacturing teams. It supports your ability to minimize cycle times, improve product quality, enhances your ability to troubleshoot problems and prevent defects.
The InterComm Expert™ suite fully supports the visualization, verification, and collaboration between ECAD and MCAD design teams. The InterComm Expert suite consists of these powerful solutions:
InterComm Expert
The increasing prevalence of electronics within everyday products poses major concerns to product developers. Chief among them: ensuring effective design reviews and achieving fewer PCB design spins. InterComm Expert offers a solution. This electronic design software allows electronic design intent – from leading EDA tools – to be more quickly verified between engineering, design, fabrication, test and assembly departments.
InterComm EDAcompare
As designs of electronics products evolve, understanding what has changed is not easily accomplished. However, with InterComm EDAcompare™ PCB comparison software, the process of determining the difference between two versions of the PCB schematic, layout, or manufacturing artwork is greatly simplified. With both attribute- and graphical-based comparisons, users can assess which changes necessitate deeper review, thereby reducing idle time.
InterComm EDAConduit
Incompatibility between ECAD authoring and verification tools creates opportunities for errors. With EDAconduit™, information exchange between EDA authors and non-authors is smooth and efficient. With fully automated bi-directional exchange of InterComm markups into ECAD tools, EDAconduit data exchange software enables direct cross-highlighting of equivalent design data between InterComm and the native electronic authoring tools, improving collaboration and reducing misinterpretation.
By integrating InterComm Expert with
Windchill, companies can manage ECAD design data and work concurrently with the entire design chain across the extended enterprise. Potential improvements in both the time and cost of electronic design can be achieved for processes such as work-in-process design review, cross-discipline collaborative product development, and controlled change management.
Mathcad may be used in conjunction with InterComm to provide thorough and efficient electrical design calculations and analyses on the actual production intent PCB database outside of the ECAD environment.
