Ansoft Announces HFSS v10; Industry-standard EDA Software with Expanded Dynamic-link Technology Offers Enhanced Design-flow Efficiency for Designers of High-performance Electronic Devices.PITTSBURGH -- Ansoft Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ANST ANST Association of Neuropsychology Students in Training ANST After Negative Skin Test ) announces HFSS HFSS High Frequency Structure Simulator HFSS High Fat, Salt and Sugar (food content) HFSS High-Frequency Sounder System HFSS High Frequency Simulator System HFSS High Frequency Sensor Subsystem (TM) v10. This new release of Ansoft's flagship high-frequency/high-speed electromagnetic design product introduces new capabilities for design-flow efficiency that allow users to easily share CAD models and results across existing CAD/CAE CAD/CAE Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Engineering products. HFSS v10 further offers dynamic-link technology, which allows HFSS to co-simulate with other Ansoft products and extends HFSS applications to include RF/analog IC co-design, EMI/EMC EMI/EMC Electromagnetic Interference/Electromagnetic Compatibility and microwave heating. For HFSS users, the ability to reuse third-party CAD models and EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. layouts saves engineering time and allows designers to spend more time optimizing performance. HFSS v10 includes new model healing, meshing technology and model-resolution techniques that simplify the model translation and meshing process. These new features are designed to help users maximize the benefits of a virtual prototyping design flow by leveraging their investments across existing software products. HFSS v10 expands Ansoft's dynamic-link technology from Ansoft Designer(R) to also include dynamic links to Nexxim(R), SIwave(TM), Maxwell(R) and ePhysics(TM) for a broader range of end-user applications, including RF/analog IC, EMI/EMC, chip-package-board co-design and microwave heating. A host of additional new features, such as optical incident wave sources, analysis prioritization, queuing and distributed network processing, user-constructed convergence criteria This is an article about European politics, Convergence criteria is also a mathematical term regarding series. Convergence criteria (also known as the Maastricht criteria) are the criteria for European Union member states to enter the third stage of European Economic and and support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux (often abbreviated to RHEL) is a Linux distribution produced by Red Hat and targeted toward the commercial market, including mainframes. Red Hat commits to supporting each version of RHEL for 7 years after its release. and Windows(R) XP Professional x64 further the solving power of HFSS v10. "With the introduction of HFSS v10, I am excited that we are providing significant productivity gains to our current install base while empowering co-design for a new class of engineer working in the areas of EMI/EMC, microwave heating, RF/analog IC and Multi-gigabit designs," said Dr. Zoltan Cendes, Ansoft's chairman and chief technology officer.
Highlights of HFSS v10 include:
1) New geometry translation, model resolution and meshing
technology implemented in a unique auto-interactive user
interface that renders electrically unimportant geometric
artifacts invisible to the simulation and characterization
process.
2) New dynamic links within HFSS and between Ansoft
Designer/Nexxim, SIwave and Maxwell/ePhysics that deliver
intelligent co-simulation for complex microwave, RF/analog and
high-speed systems, EMI/EMC and microwave heating.
3) New incident wave additions of plane, spherical, cylindrical,
Gaussian and linear antenna-wave types that broaden the
utility of HFSS to compute antennas and scattering
applications into the optical domain.
4) New and improved analysis configuration, control and management
that allow users to utilize available hardware resources and
distribute analyses over a network of computers, thereby
reducing overall analysis time.
Pricing and Availability: HFSS v10 is available on the following operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. : Microsoft Windows See Windows.
