IC, PCB tool optimizes layout in native 3D

Design Force is an IC package and PCB design and analysis solution that enables single-board, multi-board, and chip-package-board interconnect optimization in native 3D. The solution environment includes embedded interactive and automatic routing, design analysis, and constraint management, allowing design teams to layout complete system designs from prototype boards to complex multi-board systems using a single tool.

Design Force uses native 64-bit, multi-CPU, and multi-threading technology and claim to have the fastest ECAD system performance available. Fast graphics based on OpenGL and DirectX deliver near-instantaneous rendering so designers can manage embedded components, view and modify layers, and optimize interconnects, moving seamlessly through multiple designs in both 2D and 3D.
