12 WAYS HOW CAPITAL™ ESSENTIALS MAKES WIRING AND HARNESS DESIGN FASTER AND BETTER 

Electrical design has become increasingly intricate, even in products once considered simple. Today, even basic items boast electrical systems that rival those of cutting-edge industries like automotive from 25 years ago. With large engineering teams and top-notch CAD tools, engineers require more than just basic drawing software. They need tools that simplify complexity, enabling smarter and faster work.

Capital Essentials software is utilized by OEMs and harness manufacturing firms worldwide, ranging from small, 10-employee enterprises to industry giants. With automation features that streamline many labor-intensive and error-prone tasks, these companies have slashed design-cycle times, minimized rework costs, and boosted margins.

4U: QIS MIGRATION GUIDE

Explore this migration guide on the new QIS flow, designed as a superior alternative to the traditional debug flow in Questa. This guide provides detailed instructions for migrating to the QIS flow in QuestaSim, ensuring optimal simulation performance.

The QIS flow replaces the +acc used with vopt and is recommended wherever possible. Note that QIS (2021.4) currently doesn't support Questa Classic debugging due to the lack of WLF waveform support. However, it is ideal for regression tests where debugging isn’t required and is the preferred flow for Visualizer.

Leverage the new QIS flow to enhance your simulation efficiency today!

Did you know that almost a third of PCB projects miss their release date? Due to manufacturability issues that cause time-consuming and expensive respins? Testing designs for manufacturability prior to handoff can help you avoid these design pitfalls. And also reduce waste of materials, resources, and energy. This can help you meet your product release deadlines successfully by achieving first-time-right manufacture. 

In this video, Bas Hassink, our Electronic Design Automation Expert, explains how to set up Design for Manufacturing (DFM). By using DFM software, you can design electronic systems faster and far more efficiently.

We had a fantastic time at Sweden's largest one-day expo for the electronics industry, Evertiq Expo! It was great meeting so many of our customers and having productive discussions. A big thank you to everyone we spoke with.

Special thanks to John Ludvigsen for his on-stage presentation of Polarion ALM. He addressed the critical question: "How do you manage your projects with demands for higher quality and lower costs without losing track of the process?"

Looking forward to more engaging conversations and innovative solutions!

PCB DESIGN BEST PRACTICES: ANALOG MIXED-SIGNAL (AMS)

Analog mixed-signal circuit simulation (AMS) is a technique for analyzing circuits in an integrated environment for analog/mixed-signal behavior, supporting advanced modeling techniques based on SPICE and HDL. This technology takes SPICE-based circuit analysis to the next level by utilizing the latest industry developments in PCB modeling and simulation.

It helps speed circuit development, simplifies verification, and allows designers to create maps that meet specific requirements. With a wide range of standard time and frequency domain analyses, along with extensive model libraries, you can thoroughly investigate performance sensitivities, analyze statistical behavior and manufacturability, identify worst-case scenarios and calculate component stresses using advanced design analyses. Furthermore, you can even build virtual prototypes of your board designs and subject them to rigorous testing, while ensuring compatibility with the end system!
