Technical Support

Hotline

Fastviewer

If you work with the Windows operating system, you can use the Internet to allow our support staff to take a remote look at your screen. You load an .EXE file from Fastviewer onto your computer and you can start a private session with our technical experts. The session number can be obtained by telephone from our support staff. For customers under maintenance this service is free of charge.

Application Notes

Application notes are pdf documents, where experts from FlowCAD describe a detailed solution. This might be for settings in the tool or how to solve a technical challenge with the tools. Please click on the link below to get to our download page, where we offer you all free application notes. If you talk to our hotline, we might have some more application notes for customers with valid maintenance contract only.

Software Licenses

Depending on the product or the manufacturer of the software, various license options are available for individual requirements. A fundamental decision must be made between renting and purchasing the software.

Recommended Literature

FlowCAD is often asked which books about PCB layout or signal integrity are recommended. We have listed here some books that our application engineers have read themselves and whose content we subjectively consider to be useful. This list is not exhaustive and FlowCAD has no commercial use for these book recommendations. If authors think that their books should be included here, please send us a preview copy. We will read and include it here if necessary.
