Rick,

Probably the best thing out there is Valor Trilogy or Enterprise.  The Trilogy has more manufacturing add-ons.  The problem is the price.  You can find Valor at www.valor-us.com or www.valor.com

Hi,

Can anyone recommend or point me at sources of software for analyzing
manufacturability for circuit board assemblies?  I'm looking for something
that would be useful in a contract assembly environment for evaluating
designs we receive from our customers.  Basically that means it needs to be
able to accept input from various CAD systems so we can apply our DFM rules
to it.

Thanks in advance.
