ProductView Validate

Formerly Validation Manager, a capability of InterComm EDAcompare

Validate design changes

Electromechanical design is a convergence of functional disciplines. The mechanical domain must understand and adapt to changes made to the printed circuit board. The PCB design team must also appreciate any mechanical-driven changes that will impact their work. Moreover, design iterations of the PCB itself must be tracked in order to be evaluated. With ProductView Validate, design teams can select individual transactions (e.g. component movements) representing changes (ECAD to ECAD, or ECAD to MCAD) systematically proceeding through each, and then accepting or rejecting each transaction.

ProductView Validate can be used stand alone or in conjunction with other products such as Pro/ENGINEER, InterComm Expert, and various native PCB authoring tools in order to Visualize changes before proposing or accepting them.

Benefits

• Expose and validate design changes early in the lifecycle before committing to manufacturing
• Help advance a design, quickly converging on a final, approved version
• Improve cross-discipline communication between electrical and mechanical design teams
• Help interrogate version to version PCB design changes
