This brief provides a high level summary of advancements in Mentor’s AMS Verification solutions since we saw you all last year at DAC 2019 in Las Vegas. Products featured: Analog FastSPICE Platform, Symphony Mixed-Signal Platform, Solido Variation Designer, and Solido Characterization Suite. Download NowThis resource will help you find key sessions-panels at DAC from researchers, customers, and our expert technologists; and various resources detailing the recent innovations in HLS, Verification, and RTL Low-Power since DAC 2019. Download NowAmong the challenges in the design flow has been aligning the metrics for design-for-test and for functional safety. This paper describes using logic built-in-self-test as both a functional safety mechanism and as a part of in-system testing, which allows for alignment of metrics required for safety certifications. Download NowIoT systems are multi-domain designs that often require AMS, Digital, RF, photonics and MEMS elements within the system. Tanner EDA provides an integrated, top-down design flow for IoT design that supports all these design domains.

RE: Retaining Rock
I think to remember AASHTO (or was other code?) limited the internal friction angle to 34 deg.
The friction factors that AASHTO table 5.5.5B gives for friction soil-concrete for sound rock, gravel etc range from about 30 to 35 deg, so it would imply somewhat higher angles of inner friction (except that friction at the interface is assumed go as high as the internal friction angle), but maybe not as high as at the 3/2 factor higher derivable from the NBE AE-88 limit for friction at the interface.
Real angles of internal friction should be in the 45 to 51 deg range for rough and dry broken sharp stones, I think to remember.
Refer to the applicable code if any.
RE: Retaining Rock
I was going to use 40 deg... Thanks!
