The process definition now provides support for the use of logic to drive the flow in the analysis process. One or more conditions can be defined at the analysis level to control whether an analysis will be attempted. Several scenarios that would have required specialized external scripts to capture the desired process behavior are now easily handled with this feature. Some of these scenarios are listed below:
- Improve efficiency in the evaluation process by skipping compute intensive analyses when it is clear that the design would not be acceptable
- Continue execution of the process even when some of the analyses result in errors
- Use of an appropriate physics model based on the results of an upstream analysis Continue reading
