Dear ,

While the eyes of the world are focused on World Cup Soccer, we're keeping our eyes on our own goals. Together with partners like Siemens and Inventas, and solutions including Polarion, PartQuest, Calibre, Xpedition, and Blueprint, we're ready to score. 

Want to score with your team too? We are happy to help.

PROGRESSIVE VERIFICATION:

A NEW APPROACH OF PCB DESIGN 

In the world of PCB design verification, the process of ensuring that a design is error-free and meets all requirements is crucial for successful product development. However, traditional methods of verification often involve hiring external experts or relying on overwhelmed in-house specialists, leading to delays and increased costs.

To overcome these challenges, we would like to introduce progressive verification. 

ACCELERATE TIME-TO-MARKET:

TOP 5 PCB THERMAL DESIGN TIPS 

Thermal design mistakes can be costly, leading to frustrating PCB re-spins and delayed product launches. Thermal teams are under constant pressure to move fast without sacrificing model credibility. This blog post offers a practical “cheat sheet” for thermal engineers working against aggressive schedules, highlighting five actionable tips to prevent common thermal design pitfalls and accelerate your time-to-market.

QUESTA BASE WORKSHOP, OSLO 
UNLOCKING THE TOOLS YOU ALREADY OWN

Last month, InnoFour co-hosted a hands-on Questa Base workshop in Oslo together with Inventas and Siemens EDA. Twenty-five FPGA developers spent an afternoon discovering advanced simulation, debugging, and verification capabilities that most of them had never used before - despite already holding licenses for these capabilities. 

The event was a success, and we are already planning the next one. If that sounds like something you'd want to be part of, read more.

CREATE NEW WORKS ITEMS IN POLARION

Polarion is amazing for Requirements Management; tracing everything within the V-model and generating beautiful reports.

Project Management, however, has room for improvement. We're addressing one major request here: the ability to describe your process and automatically generate tasks once specific milestones are reached.

SECURITY WORK & CYBER RESILIENCE ACT:

CAN YOU MEET THE 7 TRACEABILITY REQUIREMENTS? 

You're probably doing security work. You're just not ready to prove it. The EU Cyber Resilience Act doesn't ask if you have security processes, it assumes you do.

Instead, it demands proof: bidirectional traceability that connects every vulnerability to its assessment, every risk to its mitigation, every patch to its verification. Not in theory. On demand. In minutes, not days.

If you can't trace a single CVE through your entire response chain in under 10 minutes, you have an infrastructure problem, not a security problem. Here are the seven traceability requirements that will expose this gap.

XPEDITION CREEPAGE SHIFT LEFT: STRENGTHENING SAFETY AND RELIABILITY THROUGH EARLY VALIDATION

In every high voltage or high density electronic design, two insulation concepts play a critical role in preventing electrical failure: clearance and creepage. Although they are often mentioned together, they address different risks.

Clearance is the shortest distance through air between two conductive parts, while creepage is the shortest distance along the surface of an insulating material between them. 

With the latest enhancements, Xpedition now includes initial creepage clearance validation directly inside the layout environment. This shift left approach allows designers to detect and resolve insulation distance concerns during placement, routing and optimization, instead of discovering them only after a full verification pass.

Early insight reduces the risk of late stage redesigns, shortens development cycles and improves the electrical robustness of the final product.
