We've been gathering information about CAD/CAE for electrical/computer
engineering and have been deluged with a foot's worth of literature.
No on makes the entire package of what we want, which includes
schematic entry, hierarchical simulation, timing verification, powerful
functional specification language, finite-state machine generator, PAL
primitives, PLA and PROM high-level language specification compiling
down to JEDEC format, driver for a Data I/O or more dependable PROM/PAL
programmer, transient and frequency analysis (SPICE works well here),
symbolic, analytical, and graphical mathematics, etc.
We've accepted the fact that we will need to get several packages of
software, but are prepared to buy no more than 1 extra piece of
hardware, if we can't get software to run on our VAX or Cadlinc
workstations.
Has anyone used any of the available products? Does anyone have any
recommendations?
Following is a list of suppliers of CAE tools of some sort, for which I
managed to get some literature, and is in no way guaranteed to be
complete:
