Flomerics And SimLab Link EMC Simulation Software
SimLab customers use RadiaSim software to calculate electromagnetic fields close to the surface of a printed circuit board. The new software interface converts this information into a "compact source file" which is then used in Flo/EMC software to predict 3-D electromagnetic fields in and around the complete electronic system. Using both software tools in concert enables engineers to minimize electromagnetic emissions from the board and at the same time investigate enclosure-level resonances and shielding effectiveness, thus optimizing the system for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
The new interface is available free of charge with Flo/EMC Version 6.1 from Flomerics. Customers interested in a demonstration or evaluation of this new interface are requested to contact their nearest SimLab or Flomerics office.
"There has been an important "missing link" between board-level and system-level EMC analysis." said Mike Reynell, Director of Marketing for Flomerics. "This new interface enables the electromagnetic emission profile, or "signature", of a complex printed circuit board to be captured and used in system- and environment-level analysis, which is where EMC tests are passed or failed. Designing-out EMC problems early on has become a major competitive advantage for companies producing high-speed electronic systems, and both SimLab and Flomerics' customers will benefit from this new interface."
