Cadence at Duke Energy: Simulation
Duke Energy, a utilities organization in the United States, uses Sigrity from Cadence to support virtual testing for analysts and design leads.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Handoffs in virtual testing sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Risk and compliance | Sigrity is the governed place analysts and design leads use for virtual testing |
| Capability | New joiners can see how virtual testing actually runs |
Story
Duke Energy grew simulation faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, utilities teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Analysts and design leads were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Sigrity put virtual testing on Cadence. Cadence Design Systems supplies computational software for integrated circuit, system, and PCB design used by electronics companies. Duke Energy keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so analysts and design leads do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier virtual testing. Simulation is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join analysts and design leads without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
