PollEx

 
 
     
  Overview  
Altair PollEx is the most comprehensive and integrated set of PCB design viewing, analysis and verification tools. It provides powerful rule-based checking tools (DFM, DFA and DFE) to detect faults early in design and also provides easy solution for SI and thermal analysis of PCBs using the integrated parts and material libraries.

PollEx is not just a printed circuit board (PCB) verification tool, it is solution that accelerates the development of today’s smart, connected, and tightly packaged electronic products. It is used by global industry leaders to improve efficiency, increase performance, enable teamwork, and enhance collaboration. Altair offers tools for full system analysis that integrate mechanical, thermal, electromagnetic, and embedded code design flow with PCB design.
