SimplifyDA Launches SimplifyPLANR Bundle Route Planning Application
May 23, 2019 | SimplifyDAEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
It is not uncommon for an engineer to provide bundle routing flows to the designer. These flows can be hand-drawn images on a napkin, a Word document, or maybe a PowerPoint slide. All of these methods have one thing in common, they are inefficient.
In order to streamline the creation of these bundle routing groups, SimplifyDA has released the SimplifyPLANR application. SimplifyPLANR accomplishes this by:
- Adding/removing nets
- Specifying routing layers per group
- Specifying desired routing path
- Providing unique colors for each group
- Saving flows for use in the SimplifyPCB router
- Performing multiple “what-if” scenarios to verify routing path is possible
(Routes are not saved; SimplifyPCB is required to save routing) - Examining layout DSN files
- Best of all, it does not tie up a license of the corporate layout application
SimplifyPLANR is currently being offered free of charge. Visit simplifyda.com to request and download a license.
About SimplifyDA
SimplifyDA provides robust, cutting-edge topology PCB and package autorouters. By implementing algorithms which closely mimic hand-routing techniques, SimplifyDA provides the best-in-class results, leading to enhanced productivity.

Happy’s Tech Talk #35: Yields March to Design Rules
12/12/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkUltra high density interconnect (UHDI) has many forms, structures, and alternatives, so capturing all the variations and reducing them to design rules has required some departures from traditional IPC design standards. In this column, I’ll be discussing the IPC UHDI design guidelines and standards. The fundamental question is: “Do you need HDI or microvias?”
Global Sourcing Spotlight: Navigating the Variables of Holiday Schedules in Global Sourcing
12/10/2024 | Bob Duke -- Column: Global Sourcing SpotlightIn global sourcing, obvious factors often dominate the conversation: cost, quality, and logistics. However, often overlooked is the impact of local holidays and schedules, such as the Chinese New Year. The current holiday season in the Western world got me thinking about how worldwide holiday schedules can affect commerce and, specifically, global sourcing. These events can have a profound effect on your supply chain, leading to delays, increased costs, and even strained relationships with suppliers. Understanding and planning for these variables is not just best practice; it's necessary for anyone serious about global sourcing.
