    摘要: A design aiding apparatus and a method, and a storage medium storing a design aiding program enable the efficient layout design of components in a multilayer wiring board formed by laminating a plurality of wiring layers. The design aiding apparatus includes (a) a first acquiring unit for acquiring information showing a first location in a lamination direction of the wiring layers, (b) a second acquiring unit for acquiring information showing a second location on a two-dimensional plane that is orthogonal to the lamination direction, and (c) a placement unit for generating information showing a space to be occupied when the component is placed in such a manner that a placement reference point of the component coincides with the second location that is on the two-dimensional plane including the first location. According to the above construction, the present invention is capable of aiding layout design of components in the wiring board.

    摘要: A net detecting unit detects a set of component terminal interconnection information showing a critical net from a component terminal interconnection information list. A conductor detecting unit detects a conductor corresponding to the critical net. A component detecting unit detects two components from the set of component terminal interconnection information. A terminal detecting unit detects a power and/or ground terminal of each of the detected components. A power/ground layer detecting unit detects at least one layer, among power and ground layers, to which the detected power and/or ground terminals are connected. A layer detecting unit specifies a layer, among the detected layers, that is nearest to a signal layer on which the conductor is placed. A prohibition area generating unit generates a via prohibition area on the specified layer. As a result, vias are placed on the specified layer, avoiding the via prohibition area.
