Ansys Releases HFSS 12.1 With IE Solver Option Ansys has announced the 12.1 release of HFSS software, a technology for 3D full-wave electromagnetic field simulation. The product introduces an integral equation (IE) electromagnetic solver option, which is based on 3D full-wave method of moments (MoM), which can be implemented in the HFSS desktop. This technology is effective for large-scale radiating and scattering simulation studies. For example, an aircraft system integrator interested in antenna placement or radar cross-section (RCS) studies can accurately simulate and design with the IE solver, reducing prototype iterations, cost and time to market. HFSS software helps engineers design, simulate and validate the behaviour of complex high-performance radio frequency (RF), microwave and millimetre-wave devices in next-generation wireless devices, defence communication systems and consumer electronics. Users of this latest version of HFSS software are said to be able to achieve a re...

CST Unveils PCB Studio Power Integrity Solver Computer Simulation Technology (CST) introduced the PCB Studio solver module for power integrity analysis at the Design Automation Conference (DAC) in San Francisco, which runs until 31 July. According to the company, which can be found in Booth 3155, engineers working on the design of power delivery networks will benefit from CST's latest addition to CST Studio Suite. The CST PCB Studio power integrity solver, based on a special 3D FEM approach, helps calculate accurate impedance profiles within a full 3D simulation but in a fraction of the time required by traditional 3D solvers. The PI solver is tightly integrated in the CST design environment and shares the same usability features as the other CST Studio Suite solver modules. It can be integrated in various workflows through a set of high-quality interfaces, which can be used to create 3D models automatically from layout data, including various lumped components. Engineers wil...
