[SI-LIST] Re: Design For Manufacturing assessment Tools for PCB Designs

Steven - We have used the Valor Enterprise 3000 software for several
years to verify hundreds of design done using Cadence Allegro layout
tools. You can verify the allegro board database as well as input gerber
files and compare them to IPC net lists. It works best if you get a
consultant to help w/ script automation & design rule checks to
streamline checking time.

If you would like additional info, feel free to contact me offline.=20

Ray-

Valor works equally well for PCBs from Cadence databases.=3D20

Steven-

Have you looked at the Valor DFM tools?  See:
http://www.valor.com/SolutionDFM.jsp

I can't comment on this tools use with PCBs but we do make use of it for
Package substrate designs. (runs on Win XP and interfaces well to
Cadence design databases)

Colleagues:


We have tried Adiva DFM tools here at Lockheed but they are difficult to
use and currently only come in a UNIX version that works poorly with WIN
XP.

I am interesting in hearing from my peers on experiences with different
possibly better tool for validating PCB designs. We do the back end
design with Allegro 15.2

Thanks in advance
