Physics Rule Checks

We're pleased to announce the launch of Physics Rule Checks (PRCs) in Quilter, which work alongside existing Design Rule Checks (DRCs) to ensure Quilter layouts:

1. are complete,
2. are manufacturable, and
3. function as specified.

Physics Rule Checks are fully automated “unit tests” that Quilter creates for each physics constraint defined in your schematic.

After generating a layout, Quilter runs a targeted suite of PRCs to quantify the design quality of each candidate, and packages these results into a report for you to review.

When viewed alongside DRCs, physics rule checks make it easier to explore and understand design tradeoffs between manufacturability, cost, and performance so you can optimize for what’s most important to you.

We'll soon be integrating PRCs more deeply into Quilter’s candidate review experience, including using PRC results to drive candidate recommendations, filtering options, and enhanced visual review workflows.

We're excited to hear what you think!
