Module Design and Analysis
Benefits
- Reduce the risk of defective product release through repeatable, comprehensive, automated analysis.
- Turn schematics into "virtual prototypes", using simulation to support critical analyses.
- Enables a system designer to analyze multiplex bus systems like CANBUS, Flexray, and others.
- Early identification of design rule violations through user-defined rules or functional verification.
- Repeat early analysis as the design evolves and systems are interconnected.
- Multiple re-use of modeling effort with push-button Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Sneak Circuit Analysis (SCA), Component Sizing, and Scripted Analysis.
