System Planner - System-Level Design Planning

System Planner - System-Level Design Planning

For many years, the PCB industry has needed a solution that provides a system-level design planning solution that flows seamlessly into the design process. System Planner is the first software solution has fully fulfilled this need.

System Planner, part of the new CR-8000 design suite, is a system-level design environment for initial planning and partitioning of electronic systems. It enables engineers to optimize form, fit and function of single and multi-board systems, maximizing design reuse and eliminating the need to re-enter upfront design planning data into the design tools during detailed design. It is the starting point for concept and design creation, linking through to detailed design, enabling engineers and designers to smoothly flow through the design process reusing, sharing and synchronizing design data.

Replacing disparate tools that were not designed for this purpose, and feeding all planning data into the design process, no work in System Planner is ever wasted.

Highlights

  • Study, plan, partition a complete system’s logical, 2D physical, 3D physical and parametric design elements
  • Improve first-time decisions, reduce errors and rework
  • Optimize part usage, cost, availability, in the BOM
  • Promote collaboration between disciplines and enable intelligent real-time trade-off analysis

 System Planner design flow

Fully integrated with Design Gateway and Design Force, System Planner is the first step in a unique multi-board design flow that enables you to design, analyze, optimize and produce single and multi-board systems.
