Ansoft Releases AnsoftLinks for Mentor Graphics Board Station; EDA Geometry Translation Software Paves Way for Accurate Analysis of Complex PCBs.Business Editors PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 30, 2003 Ansoft Corporation (Nasdaq:ANST ANST Association of Neuropsychology Students in Training ANST After Negative Skin Test ) today released AnsoftLinks(TM) v2.5 to provide seamless data export from the 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. (R) (Nasdaq:MENT) Board Station(R) product to popular Ansoft design tools for use in high-speed printed circuit board (PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. ) design. With the new link between the Board Station(R) product and Ansoft's 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), SIwave(TM), Spicelink(TM) and Ansoft Designer(TM) interfaces, PCB designers can take advantage of the additional features and capabilities of Ansoft's products while maintaining their existing Mentor Graphics design flows. Ansoft's full range of geometry-driven electromagnetic solvers allows for the complete electrical characterization/analysis of PCBs, including the effects of complex, partial, and split power and ground-plane structures. "Ansoft's high-speed modeling solutions are excellent companions to the Mentor Graphics high-speed design and analysis environment. At Mentor, we want to provide our customers with design tool choices that best meet their needs and requirements," said Joe Dalton Joe Dalton may refer to:
"AnsoftLinks v2.5 enables engineers to bring the unparalleled accuracy of Ansoft's simulation tools into established design flows," said Brad Cole, Ansoft's SI product marketing manager. "Users can more easily apply our tools to accurately simulate high-speed signals through the entire interconnect path, from the integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for through the package and PCB."
