Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT), the market and
technology leader in printed circuit board (PCB) design solutions,
today announced the release of the vSure™ version 9.0 product, the
successor of Valor Enterprise 3000™ Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM)
product. The enhancements in this release enable designers to more
easily perform extensive DFM analysis during the PCB design
process, thus improving their productivity, avoiding costly design
re-spins, and speeding the time to target high-volume production.
Electronics companies can now better meet their aggressive business
goals of getting a more competitive product to market on time and
at reduced manufacturing costs.
Early adopters of the new version have already been praising its
benefits. "I have found vSure 9.0 invaluable in ensuring our
designs are production ready," stated Ken Haerterich, Senior PCB
Designer at Zebra Technologies Corporation. "The simplicity of the
application, coupled with the increased performance, has resulted
in huge time savings in our release schedule."
The vSure product can verify more than 700 DFM manufacturing
requirements on a PCB design during the development process,
ensuring that the data transferred into manufacturing is ready for
production engineers to perform bare board and assembly
manufacturing without requiring design changes. The vSure product
uses the same "golden" Valor Parts Library (VPL™) used in the
manufacturing environment to assure consistency between the checks
performed by the designers and manufacturing engineers.
"Mentor's acquisition of Valor and the enhancement of their DFM
technologies are enabling us to better meet the business goals of
the electronics industry's most advanced companies," stated Henry
Potts, vice president and general manager of Mentor Graphics
Systems Design Division. "Avoiding a design re-spin or achieving a
reduction in the manufacturing cost of a product can mean the
difference between profit and loss for these companies."
The vSure product line integrates with both Mentor and
non-Mentor PCB design solutions to address a worldwide market in
all industry segments. The version 9.0 release contains major
enhancements including:
- A Manufacturing Risk Assessment interface that enables
designers to quickly review DFM analysis results focusing on the
most critical. Potential design problems can be filtered and sorted
by various categories including severity, board location, padstack
types, package or part numbers and features.
- A Design Process Wizard to guide designers through the DFM
process following a best practice sequence of steps from the import
of design data to the viewing of analysis results. The wizard
executes all actions in accordance with industry-tested practices
to ensure a comprehensive analysis while reducing the need for a
designer's detailed manufacturing expertise.
- Hierarchical and mathematical-based analysis-rules modeling
that enables adjustment of analysis rules based on the technology,
design center, processes or manufacturer's capabilities. The need
for complete re-definition of rule-sets when technologies change is
eliminated. In addition, management of multiple rule-sets is
supported, thus reducing setup time and potential analysis
errors.
- A significantly simplified user interface to improve the
productivity of the designer while insuring a comprehensive DFM
analysis process.
The vSure release 9.0 product is available now. For more
