Wouldn\u2019t that automatically improve your life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve gathered together some helpful resources explaining how you can use Calibre tools and interfaces to simplify some of the tasks every team has to perform during verification. Some are necessary and routine, like setting up your IC verification configuration, while others depend on what type of verification you\u2019re running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give yourself a few minutes here and there to read through or view the resources applicable to your workload, and take advantage of the suggestions and guidance provided by our engineers to streamline and reduce your workload. That\u2019ll give you time to implement those other resolutions, like eating more and exercising less!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technical papers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/ic_nanometer_design\/resources\/overview\/customize-and-standardize-your-ic-verification-configuration-b63ab41d-57b2-4e74-b3ca-70b1237495e3\/?cmpid=11722\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Customize and standardize your IC verification configuration<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/ic_nanometer_design\/resources\/overview\/reducing-ir-and-em-issues-with-automated-via-insertion-dd622963-d88c-4799-8796-773dc3476a89\/?cmpid=11722\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reducing IR and EM issues with automated via insertio<\/a>n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/ic_nanometer_design\/resources\/overview\/resolving-cell-name-conflicts-for-efficient-layout-hierarchy-2764f0e8-23bc-417d-8f3a-1699d514db53\/?cmpid=11722\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Resolving cell name conflicts for efficient layout hierarchy<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Videos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/ic_nanometer_design\/resources\/overview\/how-to-review-calibre-realtime-drc-results-cb0a522f-6a6c-4df3-9e4e-68cb611e0685\/?cmpid=10522\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Review Calibre RealTime DRC Results<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/ic_nanometer_design\/resources\/overview\/how-to-get-lvs-design-fix-suggestion-dcc86d60-b1de-42e1-b557-685fea5e2c76\/?cmpid=10522\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to get LVS design fix suggestions<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of change, as of January 1, Mentor Graphics is now Siemens EDA, a part of Siemens Digital Industries Software (DISW)!
