Learn More About PollEx
Unified Part Library
All design processes are supported by a common Unified Part Library that enables engineers from different disciplines to efficiently collaborate on projects, sharing physical, logical, thermal, electrical, and assembly attribute data, centralized in one place.
Schematic Design Review
PollEx can import designs from all major ECAD vendors, including Cadence, Mentor Graphics, Zuken and Altium in addition to the industries neutral formats. Its modeling features support design reviews, including comparison between schematics and PCB data, so faults can be detected and solved early in the process without the need for expensive ECAD licenses.
PCB Review, Inspection, and Verification
Pollex unsurpassed capabilities to reads major ECAD file formats and easy-to-use application foster collaboration of expert teams working on schematic and PCB design. Improve board layouts, and drive designs with simulation tools for signal integrity, power integrity, EMI vulnerability and ESD protection.
Track and inform multidisciplinary team members of design changes and revisions at the BOM, logical and PCB level, export smart documented reports of verification results, and easily share designs update documentation to consistently maintains the highest design quality.
PCB Analysis and Optimization
In addition to built-in analysis features, PollEx can export to other Altair and third-party physics simulation tools. You can take advantage of Altair Units to employ our solvers to confidently identify and correct design issues earlier in development. Use Altair® SimLab® to to automate structural stress, vibration, and drop test performance with robust and repeatable workflows for fast, accurate and consistent results. Use Altair® Feko®for detailed EMI/EMC analysis.

Design for Manufacturing
PollEx increases efficiency of PCB production with the export of fabricating, mounting, and paneling and testing data to production line machinery. Over 500 design for manufacturability (DFM) checks cover the manufacturing areas of board, component, drill, FPCB, package, pad, pattern, placement, and tooling. Automated and customizable tests permit to identify potential manufacturability issues earlier and to increase yield.
Design for Assembly and Test
PollEx provides a set of tools to design PCBs with ease of assembly and end-of-line testing in mind. Over 50 design for assembly (DFA) checks assembly issues with collision, lead, placement, component and board, are avoided.
Increase efficiency of PCB fabrication, assembly, and end-of-line testing, with the export of fabricating, mounting, paneling, and testing data to production line machinery.
