Pcb design software addresses rigid-flex, high-speed issues

MENTOR GRAPHICS Xpedition printed circuit design (pcb) design flow software addresses the increasing complexity of advanced systems designs. Product provides advanced technologies to enable design and verification of 3D rigid-flex structures and to automate layout of high-speed topologies with advanced constraints. Product enables a streamlined design process from initial stack-up creation through manufacturing. Engineers can design complex rigid and flex pcbs in a fully supported 3D environment, resulting in a correct-by-construction methodology for optimum reliability and product quality. Users can then export a 3D solid model to MCAD for efficient bi-directional pcb-enclosure co-design. http://www.mentor.com
