About

ModelSim simulates behavioral, RTL, and gate-level code, delivering increased design quality and debug productivity with platform-independent compilation. Single kernel simulator technology enables transparent mixing of VHDL and Verilog in one design. ModelSim packs an unprecedented level of verification capabilities into a cost-effective HDL simulator and is ideally suited for the verification of small and medium-sized FPGA designs, especially designs with complex, mission-critical functionality. ModelSim’s advanced code coverage capabilities provide valuable metrics for systematic verification. Plus, ModelSim’s ease of use lowers the barriers to leveraging verification resources. All coverage information is stored in the highly efficient UCDB database. Coverage results can be viewed interactively, post-simulation, or after a merge of multiple simulation runs. An easy-to-use and unified environment provides FPGA designers with the advanced capabilities they need for debugging.

About

OrCAD® X is a unified PCB design software platform that offers significant improvements in ease of use, performance, automation, data management, and collaboration. Our cloud-enabled product suite contains applications for schematic, simulation, and PCB layout. OrCAD X Capture is one of the most widely used schematic design solutions for the creation and documentation of electrical circuits. PSpice® is our virtual SPICE simulation environment integrated within Capture that allows you to prototype your designs using the industry-leading, native analog, mixed-signal, and advanced analysis engines to deliver a complete circuit simulation and verification solution. Our two PCB layout environments, OrCAD X PCB Editor and OrCAD X Presto, allow designers to easily collaborate between ECAD/MCAD teams and build better PCBs faster. OrCAD X Presto is a new user-friendly option offering a simpler interface for quick-turn PCB design.

$107 USD/month
OrCAD X is offered in both term and perpetual licensing. Term licensing is based on a 12 month period and reduces the upfront product cost while providing access to all services. It includes support, software updates, and OrCAD X Cloud subscription. Perpetual licensing has a higher upfront cost, but allows indefinite use of the purchased version. It includes the first year of maintenance which covers support, software updates, and OrCAD X Cloud subscription. Unlike a term license maintenance must be maintained to provide continual access to support, software updates, and access to new product versions.

Additional features and license options will affect the price.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Crypted simulation models (PSpice). Integrated pre-layout signal integrity analysis. Integrated impedance and coupling analysis. Quick and dynamic updates of copper under placement and routing. Support for multi-board systems and assemblies. Version control, templates, and component libraries stored in cloud.
  • Finally we get an easy to use GUI with the powerful Allegro engine under the hood. The cool features like constraint manager, DRC and DFM checks are still included. I like the new Shaddow mode.

Cons

  • Mastering a new software tool can feel like learning a new language – it takes time and effort. However, these investments in learning can impact project timelines and overall productivity.
  • Unfortunately Artificial Intelligence is a cost option. We could really use this automatic place and route for several easy designs, too have more time for the critical ones.
