DesignAdvance Systems, Inc. introduces CircuitPlan, a concept level planning tool for the hardware engineer. CircuitPlan offers planning, feasibility and design collaboration from concept level planning through physical design and test.
As a concept level planning tool, CircuitPlan supports full logical and physical hierarchy. CircuitPlan provides a mechanism to begin design by populating preliminary plans with design data, including mechanical, from previous and existing designs or reference boards (both partial or complete netlists).
Floor Planning and Conceptual Product Planning Capabilities include:
-- Feasibility Analysis [multi-level fit studies]
-- Plan with generic or pseudo components and/or CircuitSpace templates
-- Concurrent syncing with schematic allows the user to replace generic or
pseudo components with schematic completed components
-- View Functional and Physical Design encompassing inter-view
connectivity
-- Populate your Design with data from previous designs and reference
boards
-- Import/Export into IDF and/or leading PCB design flows
-- Placement Automation Capabilities
- Interactive Clustering
- Replication of exact/partial clusters
- Modify and propagate changes
- Apply templates
CircuitPlan v1.0 will be available in February 2009.
