CAE Tools Assessment for TPS Development (Preliminary)

Abstract

This report discusses the application of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tools to the Test Program Set (TPS) development process, the selection of CAE tools for TPS development, and evaluation recommendations for CAE tools. Electronic design application tools were considered to establish a methodology for TPS development and provide a total computer based TPS development environment. These requirements dictate a highly integrated set of CAE tools which are targeted toward specific TPS development problems. The test strategy generation, testing requirements, reverse engineering, and Interface Device development are the specific TPS development problems investigated. The study will encompass a preliminary report (this report), an interim report and the final report. The preliminary study selected the Cadence design environment for evaluation on the SUN workstation because of the open CAE software operating environment considerations, circuit representation capabilities and integration with the SABER analog simulation tool.
