Uncompromising Analysis At All Stages

Shift Left With Sigrity X

Simulation shouldn’t be a singular event for the end of the design. To maximize the benefit and effectiveness of simulation in your design flow it is important to be able to simulate effectively at any stage. Sigrity X provides access to the most comprehensive range of simulation engines and tools to allow for full multi-physics analysis to occur at all phases enabling a true simulation driven digital twin-based design flow.

Gain access to the full Sigrity X platform on-demand with Sigrity tokens. Sigrity tokens solves one of the most prevalent problems for teams looking to adopt a simulation-driven workflow, usage and solver access. Traditional models require purchase of each solver and analysis tool separately with many of the tools sitting idle while those particular simulation engines are not needed. This makes justifying the cost of simulation tools a big challenge and leaves you susceptible to other SI/PI issues that cannot be analyzed. Sigrity tokens allows teams to leverage the full Sigrity X portfolio on-demand saving significant costs and enabling simulation to be broadly used throughout the design process, ensuring high utilization and efficiency.

Analyze common SI and PI problems without leaving your PCB design environment. Graphical overlays as well as tabular results help you easily identify and correct issues directly in the PCB canvas as you design.
