Native Constraint Management
Common Constraint Management Issues
- CAD data and constraints are stored separately.
- Extensive time is spent verifying designs based on external constraint requirements.
- Inability to define constraints properly inside native CAD tools.
- Constraint checking does not occur in real-time.
- Inability to derive design intent from actual simulation results.
Benefits of a Constraint-Driven PCB Design Environment
Complete Constraint Environment
Embed your design intent directly into your CAD data at both the schematic and PCB stage ensuring everyone will stay in sync seamlessly.
Intuitive Constraint Entry
Simple, spreadsheet-based interface makes it easy to enter and manage constraints throughout the design process..
Simulation Driven Rules
Avoid overly restrictive design rules. Define constraints directly from simulation results to optimize design requirements for your unique design needs.
Real-Time Feedback
Real-time DRC engine provides immediate constraint pass/fail feedback as the design progresses, enabling designers to make quick adjustments on the fly.
Comprehensive Verification
Quickly analyze the entire design and generate reports to ensure all constraints are being met before signoff..
Evaluate in Context
View requirements in the context of the design itself, easing the design review process
