EM Simulation

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

XF leverages the EM principle of superposition to quickly analyze port phase combinations with a single simulation.

Electrostatic discharge testing is utilized worldwide by electronics manufacturers to determine the ESD susceptibility of their devices. It is extremely difficult to estimate the exact cost of ESD loss annually, but it can safely be stated that ESD requires the development and testing of many hardware prototypes and contributes to a high number of warranty claims and loss of consumer confidence if failure occurs in the hands of the customer. Given the high cost in time and materials associated with ESD hardware testing, the ability to simulate the ESD testing process in XFdtd is extremely valuable, allowing engineers to pinpoint locations susceptible to ESD damage and optimize ESD mitigation during the concept and design stage of product development.

AWR's AXIEM™ 3D planar electromagnetic (EM) software is an industry first to deliver EM analysis as a true upfront design technology

EM.GRID™ is EM.CUBE's flexible data visualization and analysis module. GRID is an acronym for Graphical Representation of Input Data. You can call EM.GRID at the end of a simulation from any one of EM.CUBE's computational modules to plot output data graphs. EM.GRID can also be used as a stand-alone application to visualize any data files with acceptable formats. You can plot graphs of data, customize the graphs and print them or copy them to other applications such as word processors, spreadsheets or presentation software.

Blink is the industry’s first modeling software to offer two different EM (electromagnetic) solvers for the design of passive devices. It allows IC designers to model new passive devices within a normal Cadence Virtuoso based integrated circuit design flow. It quickly characterizes spiral inductors, baluns, transformers, MIM caps, interdigitated capacitors, and transmission lines for RFIC and mixed signal IC design.

The ANSYS HFSS is industry standard software made to simulate 3-D full-wave electromagnetic fields. The HFSS features gold-standard accuracy, and advanced solver and high-performance computing technology, making it ideal for designing high-frequency and high-speed electronics found in communication systems, radar systems, satellites, smart phones, and tablet devices.

Altair now offers HyperWorks® 14.0, the latest release of their open architecture CAE simulation platform. The platform includes several new products, feature enhancements, and updated functionalities for use in designing and optimizing high-performance, weight-efficient, and innovative products.This is the first release of FEKO within HyperWorks, with HyperWorks version numbering being adopted.

The challenges involved with measuring an antenna’s radiation characteristics when it’s mounted on a large platform stem from the fact that it’s very difficult to accurately simulate an antenna’s interaction with an electrically large environment.
