Some comparisons of CDN with AVNT products (copied from the Yahoo thread, comments welcome): Here is brief major market compare: Simulation - CDN owns market and better products. The Frontline stuff has never excelled. CDN has completely closed technology gap vs. SNPS VCS. Formal - AVNT's Chrysallis is old stuff and being beat by new a startup for comparison checking. Model check - CDN the winner with its BLDA. Analog Sim - dead heat in market (Spectre vs HSPICE) Place&Route - technically very close, AVNT has the edge in ease-of-use. CDN has the best chance at future winnings and the lawsuit may reverse and AVNT advantages fastly. DRC/ERC - CDN has lost the ball with market lead, but both company is losing market a bit. MENT's Calibre has the edge. Physical Design/Manuf Simulation - AVNT has TMA stuff, CDN has nothing today. Synthesis, PCB Layout, Emulation - AVNT has no products where CDN is very strong across board. There are major dollars spent in these areas. What did I forget?
