Ansoft Begins Commercial Shipments of Ansoft Designer.


Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2003

Ansoft's Solver on Demand(TM) technology for electromagnetic,

circuit, and system co-simulation enables a

new generation of RF circuit design

Ansoft Corporation (Nasdaq:ANST ANST Association of Neuropsychology Students in Training
ANST After Negative Skin Test
) today began commercial shipments of Ansoft Designer(TM), the most comprehensive and highly integrated software Separate software components or applications that have been combined into one package. See integrated software package.  product available for the design of high-frequency microwave and RF circuits and systems.

Ansoft Designer brings together Ansoft's complete family of linear and nonlinear circuit simulators with its 3D planar A technique developed by Fairchild Instruments that creates transistor sublayers by forcing chemicals under pressure into exposed areas. Planar superseded the mesa process and was a major step toward creating the chip.  electromagnetic solver in an automated design environment. This seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation.  makes it possible to solve, verify and optimize even the most complex circuits rapidly from within a single user interface.

"The long history of dedication to accuracy makes the Ansoft simulation tools the best in class for RF and microwave design," said William Martin William Martin can refer to:
  • William A. Martin (1938-1981), American computer scientist
  • William Keble Martin (1877-1969), British botanist
  • William Melville Martin (1876-1970), premier of Saskatchewan
  • William McChesney Martin, Jr.
, Principal Staff Engineer at Motorola, "which is why I rely on Ansoft for my RF integrated circuits Integrated circuits

Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1.
 and discrete circuit designs."

Ansoft Designer combines time-domain, frequency-domain and system-level analysis tools to fully investigate the relationship between physical aspects and electrical performance before actually fabricating circuit, subsystem or system components.

With the software's release, Ansoft introduces Solver on Demand(TM), a unique technology that gives every user, from novice to veteran, access to the most appropriate solver for a given design problem. With Ansoft Designer, all tools are always available for use, regardless of the task being performed at a specific time. The result is greatly reduced design time/complexity and greater assurance that a circuit will operate as expected without further iterations.

Ansoft Designer can operate as a stand-alone tool or be incorporated into existing design flows, based on third-party 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.  tools from vendors such as Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics Mentor Graphics, Inc (NASDAQ: MENT) is a US-based multinational corporation dealing in electronic design automation (EDA) for electrical engineering and electronics, as of 2004, ranked third in the EDA industry it helped create. , and Zuken.

Availability

Ansoft Designer is available today for Windows(R) 2000 (SP2 or higher) and XP.
