"[The industry standard] FEFCO and ECMA libraries are generally available from all CAD software vendors," says Djonev, "But we don't think these libraries are sufficient. Customized libraries are not very popular because they are very difficult to create, and it takes a great deal of time." According to Djonev, Synergy removes these barriers by allowing users to assemble a design by simply dragging and dropping parametric components. The user can pull the components from a supplied database, or create new ones as needed.
