We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "EDA companies",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Simulation software runs German automotive models from
Ansoft Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "VHDL-AMS models from the FAT-AK30 working group of the German Association of the Automotive Industry now run in Simplorer".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release EDA tool stands test of comparison from
Softjin Technologies: "Tool can compare any two layout and/or mask databases, which may be in different formats, have different hierarchies or come from different sources".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Silicon Navigator
concerning its Investment from Intel Capital
- take a look at Chip giant invests in open-source EDA developer
which says: "A developer of open-source electronic design automation (EDA) software has received an investment from a leading chip maker to expand the scope and usage of OpenAccess-based products".
Take a look also at the news release from Clear Shape Technologies, EDA companies combine to improve mask consistency,
as well as Sherwani joins technical advisory board from Pyxis Technology,
and Rochel to engineer momentum from Blaze DFM.
