Cadence Design Systems, Inc. today introduced the Cadence® Legato™ Reliability Solution, the industry’s first software product that meets the challenges of designing high-reliability analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs) for automotive, medical, industrial, and aerospace and defense applications. The Legato Reliability Solution provides analog designers with the tools they need to manage their design’s reliability throughout the product lifecycle, from initial test through active life through aging. Based on the golden, trusted Cadence Spectre® Accelerated Parallel Simulator and the Cadence Virtuoso® custom IC design platform, the Legato Reliability Solution integrates capabilities into an intuitive cockpit to address the reliability concerns of the three phases of the product lifecycle: Analog defect analysis accelerates analog defect simulation by up to 100X, reducing test cost and eliminating test escapes, the main source of early failure in IC designs Electro-thermal analysis avoids premature failures due to thermal overstress during the product’s useful life Advanced aging analysis enables accurate prediction of product wear-out by analyzing

Gerber Technology will highlight how digitalization can make purchase-activated manufacturing and mass customization a reality. Attendees can experience a full end-to-end, on-demand “micro-factory” exhibit that demonstrates how—in today’s “see now, buy now” on demand world—manufacturers can digitize their process and increase their overall efficiency, while also reducing their inventory without impacting customer satisfaction or quality. This digital workflow process will include:Gerber Technology's AccuMark® and AccuMark 3D for Product Design The demonstration will show how design is optimized by leveraging custom graphics and 3D simulation, then converting patterns into a marker file that will be prepared and sent to a digital printer.  Kornit Digital’s Allegro Printer In a single step, the Allegro will digitally print designs directly to textile with its patented Fixation on the Fly (FOF) inline pre-treatment process. This waterless solution leaves a low eco-footprint by eliminating steps such as pre-treatment, washing, and steaming. Kornit will be showing new Neon inks that enable

The latest release of the Radan includes new functionality giving users a greater degree of manual control where flexibility is required for certain aspects of their individual production processes. Product Manager Olaf Körner says while Radan 2018 R2 continues to provide important automation tools for improving productivity, users’ knowledge and experience of a company’s components can address certain specifics that are often unique to their own manufacturing procedures. “Full automation is ideal for simple parts. And while automation also plays a big role in manufacturing complex parts, there’s often the need for some manual input as well, so we’ve added a number of more focused tools to allow them to easily take control of that.” One such new tool is Grid Nesting, which gives additional flexibility for users wanting to create or manipulate a nest manually. “For example, if a sheet isn’t completely full, they can either let the automatic

Altair once again invites engineering students from across the globe to participate in the 16th annual FEKO® Student Competition. The competition seeks under-graduate and post-graduate students who have worked on a supervised project in electromagnetic engineering using FEKO, Altair's comprehensive electromagnetic (EM) analysis software suite.  Ke Li, a first year PhD student from Xidian University in China, was announced the 2017 winner of the FEKO Student Competition. Ms. Li’s winning entry, entitled Wideband MIMO Handset Antennas based on Theory of Characteristic Modes, covers a dual multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) antenna design for a smart phone operating in the LTE 13, GSM850 and GSM900 bands. Typically, it is challenging to achieve good MIMO performance due to the limited space available for good element separation as well as the wide bandwidth that is required. FEKO's characteristic mode analysis was used to optimize the element placement and feeding, which enabled the desired modes to be
