Autonomous Design Verification

Flux is an AI hardware engineer. It checks and improves your design as it works across electronics, mechanics, firmware, and manufacturing.

Check the design as it develops

Ask Flux to review the complete project and fix issues as it designs.

Review the full device as it develops. Run the relevant checks and simulations, fix the issues you find, and summarize each change.

Check the electronics, mechanical fit, firmware, and manufacturing files as you update the design.

Review all current project changes and tell me which checks you ran and what you fixed.

Keep checking the design after each update and report the results.

Flux checks its own work as it designs. It runs the checks and simulations for the project and fixes the issues it finds.

Run ERC and DRC checks

Ask Flux to run the electrical rule check (ERC) and design rule check (DRC).

Run ERC and DRC on this project, fix the issues you find, and report the results.

Check the schematic for electrical issues and the PCB for layout issues.

Run DRC after routing and resolve the errors that remain.

Review the latest ERC and DRC results and explain each change.

Flux runs ERC and DRC and fixes the issues it finds. The Review panel shows the design-check results.

Open the Review panel to read the ERC and DRC results. See Design Rule Check (DRC).

Verify parts against datasheets

Ask Flux to compare the project parts with their datasheets.

Verify the board parts against their datasheets. Check MPNs, pins, pads, and packages.

Compare the motor driver and connector footprints with the documented pin and package details.

Check the part records for missing or mismatched values and update them from the datasheets.

Flux checks part records and board footprints against datasheet information. See Verify and enrich parts.

Simulate circuit, signal, power, and heat behavior

Ask Flux to run the simulations that apply to the design.

Run circuit, electromagnetic, power-integrity, and thermal simulations for this board.

Check routed signals for impedance and crosstalk, then analyze the power rails and temperatures.

Review the simulation results and fix the issues you find in the design.

Flux can run circuit, electromagnetic, thermal, and power-delivery simulations. For signal-integrity review, see Signal Integrity Simulation and Review. For power-integrity review, see Power Integrity Simulation and Review.

Review signal, power, and EMC results

Ask Flux to review the board's signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC.

Review signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC on this board. Run the relevant simulations and fix the issues you find.

Check for impedance discontinuities, power rail droop, and EMC issues at reference-plane gaps.

Review crosstalk, decoupling, switching loops, and connector protection.

Flux reviews the simulation results and fixes issues it finds. See Signal Integrity Simulation and Review, Power Integrity Simulation and Review, and EMC Design Review for PCBs.

Check manufacturing files before ordering

Ask Flux to inspect the exported manufacturing files.

Check the manufacturing files before I order and fix the issues you find.

Review the exported board files, BOM, and pick-and-place data for consistency.

Check the fabrication outputs against the board design and manufacturing profile.

Flux checks manufacturing files before you order. See Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Checks and Check manufacturing files before you order.

Verify mechanical fit and flex design

Ask Flux to check mechanical fit, clearance, tolerance stack-up, and flex design.

Check the board and enclosure for fit, clearance, interference, and tool access.

Analyze the tolerance stack-up from the board mounting holes to the enclosure.

Check the flex bend radii, twist lengths, bend zones, and traces across bends.

Review the folded rigid-flex board in the enclosure assembly.

Flux checks mechanical fit and clearance, tolerance stack-up, and flex design. See Fit and Clearance and Fold and check rigid-flex boards.

Build and test firmware

Ask Flux to build and test the firmware after each change.

Build the firmware and run its tests after each change. Fix failures and report the results.

Check the firmware build, tests, and memory use for this board.

Run the firmware tests and keep their results with the project files.

Flux can build and test firmware on each change. See Build and Test Firmware.

Generate FMEA and regulatory documents

Ask Flux to prepare a failure analysis and the regulatory documents for the product.

Generate an FMEA report for this device and list the highest-priority actions.

Prepare an FCC or CE Technical Construction File and include the project design checks.

Create the safety analysis and design documents for this product.

Flux can generate an FMEA report and prepare regulatory documents from project data. See FMEA Report Generation and Regulatory and Compliance Documents.

Review project changes

Ask Flux to review the project history and explain the design changes.

Review the project changes and summarize what changed in the schematic, PCB, and firmware.

Compare the latest design with the previous revision and list the checks affected by each change.

Review the change history and explain the decisions recorded for this design.

Flux records project changes so you can review the design history. Ask it to explain a change or compare design revisions.

Get a second opinion

Ask Flux to review a design choice or datasheet interpretation independently.

Give me a second opinion on the regulator feedback network and compare it with the datasheet.

Review the pinout and wiring plan for this connector and summarize your second opinion.

Check the design assumptions for this sensor circuit and explain the findings.

Flux compares the design interpretation or wiring plan with the component datasheet. See Get a second opinion.

Run a full design review

Ask Flux to review every part of the device in one request.

Run a full design review of this device. Check ERC, DRC, parts, signal and power integrity, EMC, mechanical fit, flex, firmware tests, FMEA, regulatory documents, manufacturing files, and recent project changes. Fix the issues you find and report each result.

Review the complete device before manufacturing. Run all relevant checks and simulations, resolve the findings, and summarize the changes.

Check every part of this design, including the mechanics, firmware, manufacturing outputs, and project history. Fix issues and report the results.

Flux reviews the checks that apply to the project and makes changes to resolve the issues it finds.
