Ansoft Ships HFSS v9.2; New Release Offers Increased Capacity, Design Customization and Tighter Integration for High-Speed and High-Frequency Applications.Business Editors PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2004 Ansoft Corporation (Nasdaq:ANST ANST Association of Neuropsychology Students in Training ANST After Negative Skin Test ) announces the immediate availability of 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) v9.2. Designers use HFSS for a broad class of high-speed and high-frequency applications, including 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 (IC) devices and microwave/radio frequency (RF) components. This new release doubles the size of addressable Reachable. When something is addressable, it can be identified and manipulated independently of its surroundings. For example, screen pixels and RAM memory are addressable. Each of the screen's picture elements can be individually turned on and off, and each of the memory's bytes can be 3D designs through access to additional memory on Microsoft Windows See Windows. (operating system) Microsoft Windows - Microsoft's proprietary window system and user interface software released in 1985 to run on top of MS-DOS. Widely criticised for being too slow (hence "Windoze", "Microsloth Windows") on the machines available then. (R)-based PCs, enhances the ability to automatically generate and manage electromagnetic (EM)-based design libraries through native HFSS User Defined Any format, layout, structure or language that is developed by the user. Primitives (UPDs), and provides seamless 3D electromagnetic, circuit and system co-simulation with Ansoft Designer(TM)/Nexxim(TM). "Our many SiGe foundry customers are requesting support for design and verification of high-speed circuits with ever-increasing complexity, and we have found great utility in the enhancements of HFSS v9.2 to support our needs in developing interconnect modeling solutions for customer design enablement," said Raminderpal Singh, Senior Engineering Manager, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) Microelectronics. "HFSS allows us to analyze the most challenging complex IC interconnect and package designs." The most broadly applicable enhancement to HFSS v9.2 is its increased access to a full 3GB of memory on Windows-based PCs. This increase effectively doubles the capacity of addressable designs by HFSS. The addition of UDPs in HFSS v9.2 provides for customer-specified geometric constructs and user-customizable libraries of parts. HFSS v9.2 also features tighter integration with Ansoft Designer and Nexxim through a dynamic parameterized link that allows seamless 3D electromagnetic co-simulation for RF/mixed-signal circuit simulation.
