Microwave simulator has flexible inputs
Version 7.5 of MicroStripes 3D EM simulation solution for RF/microwave and antenna design integrates with Applied Wave Research's Microwave Office circuit design software.
Flomerics has introduced version 7.5 of its MicroStripes 3D EM simulation solution for RF/microwave and antenna design which integrates with Applied Wave Research's (AWR) Microwave Office circuit design software "MicroStripes v7.5 operates seamlessly as a plug-in to Microwave Office, providing high-frequency RF and microwave circuit designers with proven, full-wave 3D solver capabilities required by complex high frequency design issues and time-to-market cycles", said the EM Product Line Manager at Flomerics

Thermal management software cuts development time
PipingHot Networks, developer of broadband wireless access equipment, has cut 3 months off the development time for a customer subscriber unit using Flotherm thermal management software.
Thermal analysis software is more intelligent
Flotherm V3.2 is the latest edition of its award-winning, design-class thermal analysis software from Flomerics.
The new version of MicroStripes enables users to import any desired excitation waveform during the modelling process, run the simulation, and evaluate the results without any additional postprocessing.
This makes it possible, for example, to simulate the effect of a lightning strike, electromagnetic pulse (EMP) or electrostatic discharge (ESD) on a system using a precomputed, analytic or measured waveform.
In version 7.5, ground planes can also be used for models without meshing all of the space between the system and ground plane.
A specific algorithm accounts for the effects of the ground plane outside of the simulation domain, substantially reducing solution time.
MicroStripes 7.5 reduces the computational resources required to model ferrite tiles by providing its unique SmartPart compact model methodology of ferrite tile absorber which incorporates the effects of the tiles into the simulation without having to include them in the mesh.
In a recent benchmark of an anechoic chamber performed by Siepel, the ferrite tile SmartPart reduced solution time by a factor of 15 without sacrificing accuracy. Request a free brochure from Flomerics ...
