Description
Flux is a browser-based electronic design automation (EDA) platform for designing printed circuit boards. It brings schematic capture, PCB layout, simulation, routing, and design rule checks into a shared online workspace.
Its AI hardware design assistant helps turn plain-language circuit requirements into schematics, research components, place parts, route traces, and review designs. Engineers can edit the results, define design constraints, and review the board before manufacturing.
Multiple users can work on the same design in real time, leave comments, and manage project permissions. Reusable community circuits and component libraries help teams start new designs, while live component pricing and availability support part selection.
Flux exports Gerber, bill of materials (BOM), and pick-and-place files. It accepts Altium ASCII and Cadence EDIF schematics and KiCad component libraries. These imports do not include PCB layouts.
Flux is used by electronics engineers, hardware startups, and product teams. A trial includes limited AI usage; after the trial, a paid plan is required to edit or export private projects and use AI. Public-project and community access remain available.
Description
Requirements Portal by Altium is a requirements management and verification tool integrated directly into Altium’s solutions, including Altium Develop, Altium Agile Teams and Altium Agile Enterprise.
It enables engineering teams developing hardware products and embedded systems to create, store, and manage formalized requirements and link them to designs and verification data.
Each requirement is traceable and connected to upstream system definitions and downstream design and verification artifacts, such as schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, and test cases, providing visibility from system design through implementation, verification, handoff, and certification.
This helps teams reduce rework, avoid misalignment across disciplines, and simplify compliance activities.

Why choose Requirements Portal?
Unlike traditional requirements management systems that are rigid, expensive and maintained by dedicated admins, Requirements Portal offers an easy-to-use and easy-to-learn alternative that delivers a fast return on investment for engineering teams.
Compared to document-based approaches that are near-impossible to scale beyond a few hundred requirements, Requirements Portal helps you scale across complex products and multiple projects with thousands of requirements.

Requirements Portal is the successor to Valispace, created after Altium acquired the company and integrated its technology into the Altium ecosystem.
Requirements Portal is included in Altium Develop, and the starting price includes unlimited collaborators.
