Cohesion Releases System Designer for Complex Systems.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers WOODSIDE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 28, 2000 Cohesion cohesion: see adhesion and cohesion. Cohesion (physics) The tendency of atoms or molecules to coalesce into extended condensed states. This tendency is practically universal. Systems, Inc. today announced the release of Cohesion System Designer product for system designers and architects that face an increasing level of complexity in electronic systems. Cohesion System Designer is a database driven, hierarchical design tool for designing complete electronic systems consisting of ICs and boards. "This tool handles a complete system of boards, chips and interconnections as a single, hierarchical database A database organization method that is structured in a hierarchy. All access to data starts at the top of the hierarchy and moves downward; for example, from customer to orders, vendor to purchases, etc. Contrast with relational database and network database. ," says Jesse Newcomb, Vice President of Product Development. "Most system design teams today work with disconnected modules that must be patched together, resulting in mismatched hardware and simulation. Cohesion System Designer provides designers and system architects with the power to manage the complete design process. Now they can manage system simulation with a complete, comprehensive netlist of the entire system. Integrate individual design files into one unified database. Collaborate with complete confidence in the coherence of the design data. Using Cohesion System Designer, system designers and architects can count on their design data to be always resolved, always accurate." "Cohesion System Designer has been in beta release See beta version. with several networking companies for the past few months," added Jesse. "It was used to load the complete hierarchy and manage simulation of complex products, consisting of multiple IC's and boards, and a back planes with thousands of nets. Engineers loaded their complete design data for the entire switch into one unified database, and output netlists in a few seconds to run complete system simulation. I don't know Don't know (DK, DKed) "Don't know the trade." A Street expression used whenever one party lacks knowledge of a trade or receives conflicting instructions from the other party. of any other tool in the industry that could give them that capability." Cohesion System Designer is available on Windows, UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). and Linux platforms, priced at $5000 for a node-locked license. Cohesion Systems was founded with the vision to provide the best of class, front-end software tools for schematic A graphical representation of a system. It often refers to electronic circuits on a printed circuit board or in an integrated circuit (chip). See logic gate and HDL. driven design environments, with a cohesive cohesive, n the capability to cohere or stick together to form a mass. approach that binds together front-end design, simulation and back-end layout tools.
