Running DFM Analysis

After setting and saving parameters and preferences in the DFM Analysis wizard, you can run the DFM analysis process. The analysis is run using either system or user-modified constraints to determine a threshold for each analysis type, and reports only critical violations.

Procedure

  1. In the PADS Layout, select Tools > DFM Analyses > Start Analysis.

    The constraint values list opens with a wizard message prompting to review or edit analysis constraint values.

  2. Review or edit constraints as in “Modifying Analysis Constraints”, and click in the wizard message box to continue.

    DFM analysis is performed on the project, and the Result Viewer opens with another wizard message prompting to review the DFM results. See “DFMA Result Viewer”.
