Effective use of EMC analysis tools in the automotive product development process

The pressures of today's markets cause suppliers of automotive electronics to find better ways of developing products. The use of analysis is a highly effective way to bring compliant product to the market place, en time. A workflow is proposed to guide an engineering team through the arduous task of developing a product with often fewer resources and time available than ever before. Predictive analysis provides the ability to create 'virtual' board iterations, saving tune, and costs of development. Additionally, analysis is effective at creating product 'blueprints' and making them available for later design re-use.
