Ansoft has developed a new Distributed Analysis option for use with HFSS v10, Q3D Extractor v7 and Maxwell 3D v11.
Electromagnetic design software shares its secrets
The latest release of HFSS introduces new capabilities for design-flow efficiency that allow users to easily share CAD models and results across existing CAD/CAE products.
"Understanding the electromagnetic physics of an electronic design is crucial to achieving first-time success", said Zoltan Cendes, Chairman and Chief Technology Officer of Ansoft Corporation.
"Ansoft's support of 64bit operating systems delivers the speed and capacity to solve the complex components characteristic of today's most challenging electronic designs and allows engineers to realise a true simulation-based design cycle".
Support for Windows XP Professional x64 removes the memory limitations inherent to 32bit personal computers.
HFSS users can expect to save engineering time by accessing the additional resources the 64bit PC hardware and O/S environments have to offer.
Ansoft customers will continue to accurately extract and simulate electrical models within HFSS while making use of the additional computer resources to solve even larger electrical components or performing additional parametric studies and optimisation.
In addition to HFSS, Ansoft's Q3D Extractor v7, for 3D RLC parasitic extraction, and Maxwell v11, for 3D electromechanical analysis, also will be released for this 64bit operating system during the second half of this year.
HFSS is the electronic-design industry's standard software for 3D electromagnetic design and analysis.
Engineers throughout the world use HFSS to design leading-edge devices, such as radio frequency (RF) and microwave components, antennas and arrays, high-speed integrated circuits (ICs), printed circuit boards (PCBs) and IC packages.
HFSS significantly reduces engineering time while improving the performance and reducing the manufacturing cost of these devices.
The 64bit Windows version of HFSS v10 is available now.
