Dassault Systemes Launches ENOVIA DesignSync for Synopsys’ Galaxy Custom Designer

By DE Editors

Dassault Systemes has announced the launch of a new integration with Synopsys, a provider of electronic design automation (EDA). The ENOVIA DesignSync for Synopsys’ Galaxy Custom Designer mixed-signal implementation solution integrates design data management (DDM) capabilities of both ENOVIA DesignSync Data Manager and ENOVIA DesignSync Central within the Synopsys Custom Designer environment. Combined with the existing DesignSync integration to the Synopsys Galaxy products, helps customers manage all of their integrated circuit (IC) design data from Synopsys and non-Synopsys tools within a single, collaborative platform.

“Through this collaboration, we have delivered an integrated solution that provides mutual customers with a productive custom design environment combined with Dassault Systemes’ DDM capabilities,” says Farhad Hayat, senior director of product marketing at Synopsys. “The seamless and straightforward integration is a testament to Custom Designer’s open and standards-based environment.”

Data created and modified by EDA tools, such as a schematic diagram or physical layout, is typically not stored on disk as a single file “but rather, as a specific set of files.  In order for a design data management system to maintain a version history of changes to the design objects, this set of files must be managed as a group.  This is what makes the library recognition and processing features of ENOVIA DesignSync for Synopsys Custom Designer a key feature. 

“ENOVIA DesignSync’s collaborative IC design data management solutions continue to lead the market because of their proven-in-production value, openness and scalability,” says Rick Stanton, director of Semiconductor Market Strategy, ENOVIA, Dassault Systemes. “With the Custom Designer integration, we have made it easier for designers to concentrate on what’s most important—design and innovation—while taking the worry out of how to share, integrate and release data across their local and geographically distributed design teams.  Our customers will be able to work with all available information at the same time, improving efficiency and moving even closer to becoming a full multi-discipline design operation.”
