The new toolbox makes it easy to import CAD models into MapleSim, the advanced system-level modeling and simulation platform, so engineers can learn how their designs will behave as part of a larger, ...

Modern electronic systems have an increasing level of complexity. There can be a large number of power rails and supply solutions on a system board to power many different loads. Before choosing or ...

One is almost tempted to ask,”Is anyone still buying plain old CAD tools?” A least, that's the impression I got attending sessions and browsing vendor offerings at PCB West a few weeks ago. Zuken is ...

Computer-aided design (CAD) tools in recent years have given design engineers the crucial capability to develop solid geometric models of parts and assemblies and share them among engineering teams.

How model-based systems engineering (MBSE) has improved system design. Thermal design and MBE come together. When considering systems-level design, it’s important to understand the criticality of the ...

Experts At The Table: EDA has undergone numerous workflow changes over time. Different skill sets have come into play over the years, and at times this changed the definition of what it means to ...

Cadence Design Systems has started bringing artificial intelligence (AI) into the fold on its flagship chip design suite to help designers build smaller, faster processors that consume less power and ...
