Intro

This is INVIO

INVIO (Integrated Network Validation Studio) is an automation software that works as a tool to design and validate your network. The tool supports:

  • 10BASE-T1S

  • all CAN variants like classic CAN, CAN PN, CAN FD, SIC and CAN XL

  • LIN

  • FlexRay

Consult us for this service
Do you need to analyze and approve a large number of topologies for different vehicle platforms? Don't have time to familiarize yourself with the complex and difficult configuration of a simulation and required validation criteria?

If you answered Yes to these questions, then
INVIO is the solution for you!

C&S and Synopsys

C&S and Synopsys have an extended history of collaboration.  You can find an example of this collaboration in the SAE Paper entitled An Automated Model Based Design Flow for the Design of Robust FlexRay™ NetworksFor more information on Synopsys Saber, please see their web page: http://www.synopsys.com/saber.

Even more possibilities

INVIO 3.0 upgrade including 10BASE-T1S and CAN XL

Network topologies can be configured easily and with more freedom.
ECU interface templates support the user in individual ECU circuitries.
Advanced model configurations offer more individual options and enables the exchange between different users.
The selection of connectors and several cable selections extends analysis capabilities.
New specification of limits facilitate the weight of limits exceeded.
The evaluation is improved by new analysis features for user-specific requirements and connection analyses.
Analyses can be carried out with either Saber© of Synopsys© or LTspice© of Analog Devices©.
New and extended test criteria to cover a full validation of all existing technologies based on a multi-drop system.
Helps provide a reliable evaluation of the overall system.
