Electronic Design Automation (EDA)

Altair provides leaders in the electronics industry with electronic design automation (EDA) software to efficiently verify and evaluate their product designs. Our products significantly improve the design-to-manufacturing process, eliminate design iterations, and significantly reduce time-to-market. For printed circuit board (PCB) design, embedded systems development and smart product realization, we provide tools that address the challenges of ever-increasing performance and product complexity.

Integrated Software for PCB Design

Altair PollEx™ is the most comprehensive and integrated set of PCB design viewing, analysis, and verification tools for electrical, electronics, and manufacturing engineers. PollEx transfers data flawlessly between the industry’s most popular ECAD and simulation tools and enables many of the world’s major electronics corporations to quickly visualize and review PCB designs. Its checking tools detect issues early in the design to avoid product failures and simplify manufacture and assembly.
