Design Evolution: Completing the Configuration Management tool set
Rick Reid
Mentor Graphics
Today's design environment is characterized by the complexity of the
designs, the mixture of the proprietary and Intellectual Property, and
the variety of tools used in the design flow. Combine this with the
constant pressure for being first to market and geographically remote
data networks and you can easily see why concurrent design teams are
looking for a way to:
- Ensure they are shipping the right design data the first time
- Reduce the amount of time and resources spent managing the design data
and increase the amount of time spent on the design
- Create efficient audit trails for their work
- Avoid incurring extra cost due to design rework
To resolve this takes more then a standard configuration management
tool; it takes a design management tool. Design Evolution integrates
your configuration management system with your design tools, processes
and data. It does this by providing a way to:
- Visualize the design Hierarchy with an understanding of the data
- Support the use of the commercially available Configuration Management tools
- Provide dependency management on any given design block
- Encompass design requirements and design test
- Offer flexibility in choosing tools or design processes
