Encore™
Synopsys' Encore is virtual-prototyping software for the planning and analysis of complex boards and systems. Electrical engineers use Encore throughout the design process, from early in the design cycle with just a parts list to do feasibility studies, partitioning, and floor planning, to very late in the cycle for post-placement and post-layout review. Unlike traditional CAE tools, Encore handles a wide range of constraints that are necessary to predict and prevent issues that cause iterations in the design process.
