Zuken has launched the latest version of its CR-8000 single and multi-board design solution. This platform is a product-centric design application for creating complex product design. The release includes cross-discipline collaboration, multiple user constraint management and support for global standards.
The CR-8000 platform has enhanced hierarchical and module-based system design capabilities. This, according to the company, makes it easier for engineers from all disciplines to contribute to the system design.
Also added is the functionality to reuse constraints. The Design Gateway allows multiple team members to replicate constraints, reducing design time. Constraint information for each functional block is now directly associated with the block circuit, making copying, managing and maintaining possible.
“We launched CR-8000 with a vision that design processes are moving from a traditional PCB-centric approach to a more collaborative 3D product-centric process. That vision is being realized as design teams adopt CR-8000 and benefit from product-centric capabilities such as combining 3D multi-board design and IC packaging in one product. Our customers tell us they are building more competitive products faster, and with a lower incidence of design errors,” says Kazuhiro Kariya, chief technology officer, Zuken.
