Schematic Design SPICE Simulation

iSIM (PSpice) interface

Interface to PSpice Smoke Analysis
Handling of digital parts with separate power symbol
Handling of analog parts with separate power symbol
Handling of parts with multiple different symbols
Handling of Asics. These components contain several different types of parts, each using different simulation model
A new library: spimagnetic, which contains magnetic cores.


TopSPICE

With the Top Spice module you can verify and optimize your design from the system to the transistor level. The TopSPICE simulation engine includes a native mixed-mode, mixed-signal simulator for circuits with any combination of analog and digital functions.

Allows you to simulate schematics exactly with information that can be passed direct into PCB layout
Allows you to run any number of tests Allows you to work within a single design environment
Allows you to manually create SPICE arguments and create models or sub-circuits directly
Allows you to simulate digital sections of your circuit instead of analog equivalents using the built-in logic simulator, reducing mixed-mode simulation times significantly
Provides fast access to the simulation parameters for each component using the Parts Properties Editor, allowing small changes and ‘what if’ tuning to be carried out quickly and easily.


B2 Spice Professional CS
CADSTAR Schematics can be verified and optimized with B2 Spice Professional simulation prior to the physical prototype. You can simply select "Connect to CADSTAR" from the B2 Spice File menu to simulate the circuit that you are working on. The CADSTAR library will (once mapped) retain the component association of B2Spice.

Analog digital and mixed-mode simulation Virtual instruments
Monte Carlo and multiple parameter sweeps
12 powerful tests, circuit wizards
Real-time parameter modifications Cross probing, 25,000 device library.




Micro-Strip Routing Tool

iMStrip
This third party* product is a specialist routing interface tool that handles micro-strip routing for RF designs within the CADSTAR environment.

Simulate and create high-frequency conductor geometries in RF PCBs, to save time and increase quality.
Perform simulation and verification checks in only minutes.



3D Modeling tool interfacing with BoardModeller Lite


MCAD
3D MCAD interfaces are designed to plug into CADSTAR to deliver additional functionality, which can be easily accessed from the CADSTAR interface. 

IDF
The bi-directional IDF (Intermediate Data Format) interface to CADSTAR enables the physical aspects of CADSTAR designs to be transferred to a 3D mechanical design system for checking and modification. After modification you can then import the design back into CADSTAR.

AutoCAD
The AutoCAD to CADSTAR interface from Latimer CAD offers you:

A unique "real-time" file-free integration with CADSTAR
Import and export IDF format files within AutoCAD
Add components
Component move, rotate and mirror
Add drilled (mounting) holes
List components
Component library
Create component (model)

 



MRP-Link


MRP-link
The third party* product  MRP (Materials Requirement Planning) Link integrates CADSTAR tools with MRP SQL databases and establishes a bi-directional connection, providing users with access to a vast amount of additional component information for harmonization of part data in electronic designs and for the creation of highly customizable bills of materials (BOMs).   


Aldec
Leading provider of HDL design verification software and hardware-based acceleration solutions for high-density FPGAs and ASICs. Utilizing direct compile simulation and patented Incremental Prototyping, Aldec provides a high performance HDL verification tool suite as well as a complete set for design entry, HDL debugging and advanced project management tools.
