Product Design Areas

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.

Embedded Software

Nucleus OS

Proven, embedded real-time operating system

Nucleus OS is an efficient real-time operating system with database management, USB, networking, multimedia and advanced graphical user interface capabilities.

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.

PCB Systems
