While physical prototypes will not soon disappear, they’re certainly becoming a less prevalent part of the design cycle. Reduced costs and the rapid speed-to-market are the driving advantages. As for ...

Simulation software specialist, ANSYS, Inc., has released a new version of its Simplorer software, which is part of the Ansoft family of electronic design automation (EDA) products. Simplorer 8.0 is ...

Bolstered by fast processing speeds and cheap memory, simulation has become far more accessible than in the past. Thus, the development tool has transformed product development. Simulation has ...

Most everyone would agree how important FPGA prototyping is to test and validate an IP, sub-system, or a complete SoC design. Before the design is taped-out it can be validated at speeds near real ...

Enhanced model authoring capability speeds the creation of SystemC-based transaction-level models used to build virtual prototypes New import function reduces modeling effort and errors by automating ...

Audi engineers model the front end of a new car as part of the suspension, then run it through simulated test driving to gather load data. At Audi, designers combined testing and simulation to improve ...

Sophisticated new flight simulation software capable of accurately modeling the performance of firefighting helicopters could help train pilots to tackle wildfires more effectively in the future.

Designing and testing prototypes allows camera brands to find potential issues before the design is finalized, but Canon is using software to help find potential issues before the prototype. In a ...
