Integrated Design Environment to Support Innovation in Manufacturing

To quickly satisfy the requirements of production, assembly, testing, and maintenance in manufacturing and the market requirements for higher performance, miniaturization, and cost reduction, it is necessary to have an innovative design methodology that facilitates optimization of the entire development process and enables it to proceed without repetition. Fujitsu has developed an integrated design environment for the entire Fujitsu Group to promote innovation in product development and manufacturing. This environment incorporates EMAGINE, an integrated CAD environment for electrical design, which meets the above requirements by providing simulation tools for all design processes and facilitating DFM/DFT and the coordination of PCB design with structural design. This paper outlines EMAGINE, focusing on a system that supports innovation in manufacturing, and then describes its noise simulation and structural design environments.
