Course Overview
Constraint Management in the Xpedition Flow will help you gain the ability to define and refine design constraints in a common environment that is accessible from many Mentor Graphics front-end and back-end design systems. This course covers all the necessary skills required to use Constraint Manager efficiently and effectively in Xpedition flow. Hands-on lab exercises will reinforce lecture and discussion topics under the guidance of our industry expert instructors.

PRIMARY COURSE TOPICS
You Will Learn How to:
- Define the main concepts and constraints hierarchy of Constraint Manager.
- Enable Constraint Manager as a constraint system in the Xpedition flow.
- Find and filter data in the design database
- Navigate and manipulate the constraints hierarchy
- Use the spreadsheets, toolbars, preferences, and options efficiently
- Reuse already defined constraints in other designs using Constraint Templates
- Partition the design data using Net Classes, Constraint Classes, and Schemes
- Set up mechanical constraints such as trace widths, via assignments, and clearances
- Assign physical high-speed constraints including minimum and maximum delays, matched delays, delay formulas, custom, and complex topologies, differential pairs, and parallelism rules to nets or groups of nets
- Auto-route the constrained nets and evaluate the routing results
- Manage constraints in Constraint Manager for different user groups
- Set up design and display configuration and preferences
- Run CES diagnostics for consistency and integrity of constraint data
