High-frequency simulation adds Spice to comms
Ansoft has announced version 8.0 of the Ansoft High Frequency Structure Simulator (Ansoft HFSS).
Its capabilities far exceed those of traditional Spice-based simulators", said Uwe Knorr, Vice President of Ansoft's EM Division.
"These capabilities, along with the seamless integration of accurate models generated by PExprt, save designers prototype iterations, time, and money".
The suite combines an enhanced version of Simplorer, Ansoft's industry-leading system simulation software, and PExprt, the first modelling tool to allow engineers to quickly evaluate thousands of possible designs and accurately predict the performance of magnetic components.
It boosts the functionality of both Simplorer and PExprt.
Simplorer now includes: enhanced DC and small-signal AC simulation capabilities; nonlinear ferrite core modelling capability; various semiconductor and IC models; and Spice compatibility.
PExprt now includes: foil conductors and square and twisted wire types; and generation of nonlinear component models for transformers and inductors, complete with current, voltage, and power as output parameters for direct import into Simplorer.
The suite also includes a new library containing frequently used DC/DC convertor and other power-electronic topologies.
The models are available as switching and averaged versions supporting different levels of analysis.
The Simplorer Power Suite comprises Simplorer, PExprt and the Switch Mode Power Supply library.
The suite was developed in close collaboration with the Electronic Engineering Division of the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Spain.
The starting price is $19,900.
