Electronic Design Automation (EDA)
Optimize your EDA application with HOOPS SDKs for powerful 3D visualization and modeling with tools built to support design, simulation, and documentation.
The power of the industry’s leading SDKs for EDA applications with HOOPS. Our SDKs are leveraged by leaders such as Mentor Graphics, Zuken, and Altair to build the foundation of their applications.
With superior CAD data access, 3D data publishing, and advanced 3D CAD visualization in desktop, mobile, and web environments, HOOPS SDKs give you all the tools you need to streamline your application development and focus on your application’s unique features.
As electronics designs become more complex, it’s critical to align 2D electrical and 3D mechanical data. HOOPS Exchange, the fastest, most accurate CAD translation SDK for accessing native 3D CAD data, improves this process. With support for over 30 CAD formats, including STEP, CATIA™, SolidWorks®, DWG®, and DXF®, HOOPS Exchange ensures design consistency and reduces costly errors in EDA applications for your users.
HOOPS Visualize is a high-performance 3D visualization SDK for desktop, mobile, and web applications. This toolkit enables developers to display complex 2D and 3D models with built-in support for annotations, measurements, and interactive tools to help you deliver powerful viewing experiences with minimal development effort.
The HOOPS simulation toolkits, HOOPS Access, HOOPS Mesh, HOOPS Solve, and HOOPS Envision, offer a complete solution for integrating high-performance simulation into EDA workflows. Whether you’re running airflow, thermal, structural, mechanical, or electromagnetic analysis, these SDKs provide the data access, computation, and visualization layers you need.
HOOPS Access connects to leading FEA and CFD solvers and supports universal CAE data formats. HOOPS Mesh handles robust 2D and 3D meshing, while Solve enables FEM model creation and solving. HOOPS Envision completes the workflow with interactive 3D results visualization across desktop and web. Together, they help developers build faster, smarter, and more accurate simulation-driven tools for electronics design.
HOOPS Exchange simplifies collaboration in EDA workflows by making it easy to share complex electronics design data across teams. Generate interactive 3D PDF documents, including smart reports, Technical Data Packages, and work instructions, all without requiring a proprietary viewer or CAD system. Export to standard formats like STEP, JT, and XT to ensure alignment across teams.
