Even the most skilled developers and product designers can’t always know exactly what their users want. Software prototyping provides a functional proof-of-concept mock-up that identifies missing ...

Virtual prototypes and hardware design: More powerful and complex integrated circuits and System-on-Chip (SoC) designers have a daunting task at both the hardware and software level. SoC architects ...

I just returned from a very stress-free business trip (an oxymoron!) to A.T. Ferrell Co. Inc. in Bluffton, Ind. There was only three of us in the small commuter jet traveling to the Ft. Wayne airport, ...

Virtual prototyping involves using various technologies—from computer-aided design software to simulation tools—to create highly detailed prototypes before making the physical versions. Car ...

Electronic systems are no longer generic hardware blocks assembled into a system that executes the software. That time-honored hardware design approach proceeded without considering the application ...

An overview of the fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and its importance in aerospace component design. A look at how FEA software enables aerospace engineers to simulate the results of ...

Figma, the design and prototyping tool that aims to offer a web-based alternative to similar tools from the likes of Adobe, is launching a few new features today that will make the service easier to ...

Most everyone would agree how important FPGA prototyping is to test and validate an IP, sub-system, or a complete SoC design. Before the design is taped-out it can be validated at speeds near real ...

InVision, a prototyping tool we’ve covered before, is acquiring code-based design tool Macaw. InVision is a product and prototype design tool used by hundreds of companies including Uber, Twitter, and ...
