MakeDOPowerTools is said to be a complete easy-to-use Allegrocentric Constraint System for managing the Allegro PCB Router. Includes graphical board ReViewer for pre- and post-route timing analysis and net highlighting, built-in route catalog for Design ReUse and Series Path Wizard. Inputs SPECCTRA DSN from all CAD systems, all DO Files and OrCAD Capture schematic files.

EMSAT is an EMC rule checking program from IBM that reads PCB layout files and permits selection of which EMC rule(s) to test the board against. A violation to the EMC rules may be viewed either directly in Allegro or as an HTML document. This product incorporates many years of EMC knowledge and experience from IBM’s EMC Engineers. IBM offers three EM simulation tools: PowerPEEC, EMSIM and CZ2D. PowerPEEC and EMSIM are fullwave tools, solving Maxwell’s equations with no simplifying assumptions. CZ2D is a quasi-static EM simulation tool and is best used for electrically small models when RLC extraction is desired. IBM also offers EMC engineering consultation, training and EMI testing.

Fortegra 351 toughening technology improves toughness of epoxy systems for laminates, adhesives, composites, castings and coatings. Is said to increase reliability and durability under high mechanical stresses during drilling process, while also helping maintain thermomechanical and electrical properties. Is based on dispersed preformed particulate toughening technology, which complements existing proprietary block copolymer technology.
