Why PollEx?

Integrates with Existing Tool Chains

Provides unmatched connectivity to all the major ECAD systems with integration to both Altair and third-party physics simulation tools.

Complete PCB Verification Environment

Design complex electronics right the first time with collaborative, automatic PCB design review and board design verification focusing on manufacturing, assembly, and EMC.

Better Collaboration, Shorter Design Times

By unifying data, rules, and checks across various ECAD sources and disciplines from concept to manufacturing, PollEx eliminates design bottlenecks and errors, ensuring a smoother process.

Key Features

Compatible with Existing Tools

PollEx supports a wide range of major ECAD file formats including: Altium, Cadence, CADVANE, Autodesk EAGLE, Siemens EDA (former Mentor Graphics), PowerPCB, Zuken, and ODB++, IPC 2581, Gerber, CAM350.

Early Design Simulation

PollEx provides checks for signal integrity, power integrity, EMI vulnerability and ESD protection, verifying return path routing, balanced differential pairs, and other criteria.

Detailed Performance Analysis

Achieve the performance and usability targets of today’s tightly packaged electronic devices with export to the engineering simulation across all disciplines.

PCB Manufacturing Verification

Enhance the quality of PCB fabrication data, assembly, and final testing by seamlessly exporting fabrication, mounting, paneling, and testing data to production line machinery, and optimize production line yield.

Collaboration Across Development Stages

Collaborate throughout product development across different disciplines with physical, logical, thermal, electrical, and assembly attribute data maintained in one place. Perform design reviews with red-marking, comments, and search functions of any design object across Schematic, PCB layout, and BOM.

Part of a Broad Product Development Suite

Take advantage of the flexible Altair Units licensing system to employ PollEx and Altair solvers including Altair® SimLab®, Altair® OptiStruct®, Altair® Radioss®, and Altair® Feko®, for detailed thermal, stress/vibration/drop, and EMI/EMC analysis.
