Mentor Graphics® provides software and hardware design solutions that enable companies to develop better electronic products faster and more cost-effectively. We offer innovative products and solutions that help engineers overcome the design challenges they face in the increasingly complex worlds of board and chip design.

Product Design Areas

PCB Systems

Expedition Enterprise

Integrated printed circuit board software

Designing a product requires more than just a great PCB layout tool – you need tightly integrated PCB design software. Expedition Enterprise provides tightly integrated PCB design software, enabling all team members to work collaboratively and more efficiently.

Embedded Software

Sourcery CodeBench

Embedded C/C++ development tools based on open-source standards

Sourcery CodeBench is a complete development environment for embedded C/C++ development on ARM, Coldfire, MIPS, Power, X86, and other architectures. Install, flash and debug in minutes!

IC Nanometer Design

Calibre nmDRC

Design rule checking that provides fast cycle times & innovative design rule capabilities

Total cycle time is on the rise due to more complex and larger designs, higher error counts and more verification iterations. Calibre® nmDRC responds to the need for reduced cycle time with revolutionary new capabilities that differentiate Calibre nmDRC substantially from traditional DRC tools.

Mechanical Analysis

FloEFD

An evolution in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Engineering Fluid Dynamics (EFD)

Tightly integrated with major MCAD systems including Pro/ENGINEER, SolidWorks, and CATIA, FloEFD is fully-featured 3D fluid flow and heat transfer analysis software without the numerical complexity and meshing overhead of traditional CFD.
