Mentor Makes Automotive Tool Inroads Print E-mail

Thursday, 06 October 2005
WILSONVILLE, ORMentor Graphics Corp. has released what it calls the industry's most comprehensive set of electrical and electronic (E/E) design solutions for the automotive market.

Mentor reported that it is harnessing the automotive networking solutions acquired from Volcano Communications Technologies, and SystemVision, a modeling and simulation tool for automotive subsystems. The company now has tools for design and analysis of the electrical distribution system, and for embedded system/software and for in-vehicle network design.

These items are the foundation for a tool suite aimed at addressing the complete automotive E/E design process. Mentor is also now a member of AUTOSAR, a standards organization working to create an open standard for automotive engineering architecture.

"Automotive systems design has two essential components - mechanical and electrical/electronic. In the E/E design arena, Mentor is leading the way with not just the most comprehensive product portfolio of any company in the industry, but also the largest and most richly populated assembly of specialist engineers in the market," said Walden Rhines, CEO and chairman of Mentor Graphics.
