Overview

Collaboration is critical in most engineering organizations where diverse design teams are working concurrently on schematics and constraint definition, and also communicating with other teams working on the layout. Managing changes and keeping the team in sync can be such a nightmare that the time savings of team concurrency can sometimes be lost. Expedition Enterprise delivers an innovative approach to managing concurrent collaboration within and across all disciplines of PCB design. This session will highlight technologies for concurrent design engineering and constraint definition, managing concurrency with layout, collaborative design reuse, and integration to optimize RF circuits within the context of the overall system design.

What You Will Learn

  • Managing concurrent engineering without having to pay the ‘synchronization tax’
  • Improving communication of design intent from engineering to layout
  • Creating effective models of formal and informal design reuse
  • Collaborating with RF engineers within a common design environment
