Slide 4 of 26
Notes:
- A step forward towards facilitating design-analysis integration is the utilization of neutral exchange formats such as STEP.
- As shown in this slide, the data of each design application is translated to a neutral (standard) format.
- Analysis applications read the data from these standard formats without regard of the application that generated this data.
- This eliminates the need for point-to-point translators and to update the analysis applications each time a new release of a design system is released.
