Maybe in the future all these parameters will be combined and everything will be easier. On a pcb, the layout plan can be calculated with maybe millions of different possibilities. I'm sure there are much better alternatives to pcb layouts on the market. However, I don't know how logical it is to overthink. | |

However, in pcbs that need to be designed with multiple layers, the inference may be low. I think the best way to do this is to classify each of the electronic components by the user and then make a signal analsys like ansys siwave and keysight sipro. and in power integrity software, crosstalk, | |

I haven't used it, but it seems like it would be good starting point if the schematic is optimally drawn, with minimal line crossings and long connections. | |
