Ansoft has developed a new Distributed Analysis option for use with HFSS v10, Q3D Extractor v7 and Maxwell 3D v11.

The release of this new capability allows customers of Ansoft's industry-leading electromagnetic-field simulation software products to distribute parametric studies across available hardware to expedite EM model extraction, characterisation and optimisation.

The Distributed Analysis option is an effective way to increase the simulation power of HFSS, Q3D Extractor and/or Maxwell 3D available to an individual engineer.

This option applies parallel computation toward the investigation of parametric design variations, saving overall analysis time while maximising the use of existing computer hardware.

This optional capability supports the splitting of multiple predefined parametric design variations and/or frequency points, the allocation and solving of each instance on a separate machine and the reassembling of the solution sets.

The Distributed Analysis option is available now for use with HFSS, Q3D Extractor and Maxwell 3D.
