Commercial EDA software †

Cadence, Synopsys and Menter Graphics and so on are what is called "EDA vendor" and their commercial EDA software are high-performance and useful. However their costs are exceptionally expensive in Japan. Because of the private person can NOT use it. But staff of university and technical college can use them with VDEC. I guess, these software have a lot of functions and they are NOT for Maker.
