  • Ucamco Updates UcamX v2016.01 Software

    UcamX v2016.01 CAM software includes PP+, a parallel processing feature. Works with UcamX multicore and 64-bit workstation technology. With Backgrounded Outputs feature, CAM seat time can be saved by running CAD data output tasks in the background. Parallelized Image Compare automatically splits large data sets into smaller tiles and compares them on different logical processors using parallel processing. Comes with new workspace defaults that speed up the program's startup and make switching between workspaces faster. Supports latest version of ODB++.

  • Zuken Updates CR-8000 Design Software

    CR-8000 System Planner has enhanced hierarchical and module-based system design capabilities. Optimizes interconnection of system boards created by multiple users. Design Gateway feature allows constraints design and reuse by multiple team members. Collaborative constraints design and reuse help reportedly reduce design time and improve design efficiency. Constraint information for each functional block is now directly associated with block circuit. Constraints can now be managed at the block level, and constraints associated with reuse circuits are reusable. CR-8000 Design Force and DFM Elements output to IPC-2581B. Interfaces support system design with Simulink and boundary scan with JTAG integration to check original design intent and quality achieved. Information shared concurrently among all engineering disciplines from circuit design to layout.
