• Verify behavior of multi-domain physical systems (electrical, thermal, mechanical, magnetic, hydraulic, etc.)
• Optimize system for performance, reliability, and cost using Robust Design methods
• Unmatched model accuracy, model libraries and modeling tools for power electronic systems
• Support for MAST and VHDL-AMS language standards
• Apply a range of analysis capabilities to reach performance goals, reduce effects of variation, and bound worst case behavior
• Create and simulate 1000s of virtual prototypes with grid computing
• Communicate throughout the supply chain with secure model exchange

Benefits

• Increase reliability for mechatronic systems, PCBs & wire harnesses
• Implement Robust Design analyses such as stress, sensitivity, Monte Carlo, etc.
• Quickly create a virtual system design
• Reduce the need for physical prototypes
• Increase model portability with language standards VHDL-AMS & MAST
• Ensure accuracy by accessing a library of 30,000+ models
• Create models quickly with model characterization tools
• Protect intellectual property with model encryption
• Integrate with popular 3D CAD tools (Catia V5, Siemens(UGS), Pro/E)
• Verify hardware/software interaction with co-simulation
• Integrate: MATLAB/Simulink, Zuken, Mentor Graphics, Cadence, Synopsys VCS
• Use grid computing to minimize time for compute intensive statistical analyses

By using Saber to implement a Robust Design methodology, design project teams achieve target reliability, while optimizing the design for performance and cost. The reliability and cost problems associated with over/under-design are avoided and the project schedule is shortened because hardware prototype iterations are reduced or eliminated.
