As part of their coursework, graduate students at FEEC must complete selected electronic-design projects related to these technologies using several Ansoft EM and signal integrity products, including Simplorer, Maxwell, PExprt, RMxprt, Spicelink, AnsoftLinks and Optimetrics.
"Alternative energy research and development is a natural area for Ansoft's unique physics-based system simulation products", said Mark Ravenstahl, Product Marketing Manager for Ansoft.
"Many of our automotive, aerospace and telecommunications customers are intensely researching alternative energy strategies.
Collaborating with the FEEC helps provide a steady stream of talented researchers to our customers and helps Ansoft determine the simulation requirements that will be needed as the industry brings these new technologies to market".
