Ron,

Check out the following web site from University of Missouri-Rolla.

http://www.emclab.umr.edu/consortium/
<http://www.emclab.umr.edu/consortium/>

They have sponsored an industry consortium over the past 3 years developing
EMI Expert System algorithms that are intended to do just what you ask.

Some of their software partners have products out that implement these
algorithms.

Good Luck,

Jim

Subject: [SI-LIST] : Automatic/Semi-automatic design
check of PCB layout database for crosstalk/SI violations.

Hi Guys

What technique or tools are being used for checking a new
PCB layout database for simple
mistakes, like excess crosstalk or "BIG" impedance
mismatches before releasing a PCB
for FAB.

My focus is the housekeeping signals and lower speed busses,
that we usually neglect but which
can still bite us in the posterior, causing a new spin of
artwork and FAB.

Requirements in order of importance:
1. Compatibility with PCB databases like Allegro/Cadence
2. Simple to use, little or no training
3. Cost of acquiring
4. Speed of processing

If there is not such a product someone needs to get busy.
