AnsoftLinks v2.5 provides seamless data export from the Mentor Graphics Board Station to popular Ansoft design tools for use in high-speed PCB design
With the new link between the Board Station product and Ansoft's HFSS, SIwave, Spicelink and Ansoft Designer 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 characterisation/analysis of PCBs, including the effects of complex, partial, and split power and ground-plane structures.
