Mentor Graphics Expedition Enterprise Flow EE7.9.5 and DMS7.9.5 (02/08/15)



Expedition Enterprise from Mentor Graphics is the industry?s most innovative PCB design flow, providing integration from system design definition to manufacturing execution. Its unique, patented technologies can reduce design cycles by 50% or more while significantly improving overall quality and resource efficiency.

Key Features

- Correct-by-design Methodology and Flow Automation can increase engineering productivity by 40% or more by reducing error rate and eliminating time consuming batch post-processes.
- Flow-wide concurrent engineering, commonly resulting in a reduction of 30-60% cycle time and up to 80% decrease in integration effort across disciplines. This capability enables multiple engineers to work in parallel at any stage of the design process eve
- Full data integrity throughout the entire design and IP management process. This significantly improves project schedules, reducing risks and eliminating error-prone manual data manipulation.
- Integrated design-for-manufacturing to eliminate new product introduction risks by reducing design spins by 60% or more, and optimizing first pass yield by integrating the design chain with the extended supply chain.
- Virtual prototyping cuts down costly and time-consuming physical prototypes and opens time for cost and quality optimization by improving electrical, thermal and electromechanical quality and reliability.

DMS (Data Management System) is Mentor Graphics integrated solution for the Expedition Enterprise PCB Design flow that will provide:

Enterprise CAD Library Management
Synchronized Multi-Site Library Distribution
Immediate Component Information to the Designer s Desktop
WIP Partlist/BOM Management
Enterprise ECAD Configuration Management
Enterprise Integration Links to PDM/ERP/CIS and other Business Systems

DMS is core to the success of all Enterprise/Multi-Site customers using the Expedition design flow. DMS stores, relates, and manages ECAD data
