Altair® NLVIEW®
Schematic Generator for EDA Tools
As designs grow in size and complexity, Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools must be able to scale efficiently to handle larger schematics without sacrificing performance or usability. NLVIEW efficiently and accurately displays complex schematics with automatic, incremental visual navigation for effortless viewing across all major EDA platforms.
Why Altair® NLVIEW®
Accelerate EDA Tool Development
Speed up EDA tool design and validation processes for any industry with Altair's open and flexible schematic drawing software.
Slash Cost with Schematic Visualization
Expose and mitigate tool design issues early in the development cycle with schematic generation and viewing solutions that avert downstream development and maintenance costs.
Exchange Data Effortlessly
Exchange application data with EDA tools using easy production-proven adaptive schematic software commands, callbacks, and configuration properties.
Key Features
Transistor-Level Schematic Generation
Easily and accurately tune designs for maximum performance. With NLVIEW's T-engine technology, designers can easily view circuit structure, parasitic components, timing data, and signal values at the transistor level.
Gate-Level Schematic Diagrams
Create schematic diagrams optimized for gate logic, including bus-structures, muxes, and latches. NLVIEW's G-engine technology supports hierarchy borders with the option to fold and unfold hierarchical blocks and display signals passing through hierarchy borders.
System-Level Schematic Generation
Interactively assemble, visualize, and modify system behavior and architecture. With NLVIEW’s S-engine integrated with EDA tools, manufacturers can easily create modern system-level and IP-centric design and visualization tools.
Harness Wiring Generation
Automatically generate electrical and electronic (E/E) architecture and wiring harness schematics. Developers can leverage NLVIEW’s E-engine™ technology and powerful APIs to easily build customized tools and cloud-based applications for automotive, aerospace, and other industries.
Incremental Schematic Navigation
Navigate complicated netlists by double-clicking pins. Starting with a single component or excerpt (critical path) of an overall netlist, developers can incrementally extend a schematic diagram without changing layout decisions or developing layouts from scratch.
Seamless Integration
NLVIEW smoothly integrates into all major EDA platforms and tooling processes. Organizations can easily leverage NLVIEW to create, view, and navigate even the most complex schematic diagrams and layouts.
