Design software links with EM simulator
The latest version of Ansoft Designer features a Solver on Demand link with Ansoft's HFSS industry-standard 3D electromagnetic design tool
The latest version of Ansoft Designer software for the design of high-frequency electronic components, circuits and systems features a Solver on Demand link between Ansoft Designer and Ansoft's HFSS, the industry-standard 3D electromagnetic design tool. For the first time ever, designers and engineers can dynamically incorporate the effects of arbitrary 3D structures within their high-frequency electronic simulations.

Solver on Demand goes far beyond traditional data importing by allowing users to control the flow of information between the two products with parametric control of physical dimensions, material properties, excitations and frequency ranges.
Results are automatically embedded into Ansoft Designer, greatly reducing the engineering time and product development costs associated with high-performance components commonly found in telecommunications, aerospace and defence applications.
Designers can now make full use of an advanced schematic-based design flow while incorporating the effects of high-frequency and high-speed components.
"The new Solver on Demand link between Ansoft Designer and HFSS achieves a new milestone in the industry", said Dr Zoltan Cendes, Ansoft's Chairman and Chief Technology Officer.
"Ansoft Designer already had Solver on Demand integration between planar electromagnetic field simulation and circuit simulation.
The new dynamic Ansoft Designer HFSS link greatly advances high-frequency modelling with the ability to solve both planar and full 3D electromagnetic devices parametrically within a circuit simulation environment".
In addition to the Solver on Demand link with HFSS, Ansoft Designer v1.1 includes several new features and enhancements, including: new behavioural noise and variable time-step models for advanced sigma-delta fractional-N PLL simulation; new N-port (S-parameter) import of Ansoft Neutral Files (ANF) with user-selectable DC behaviour; new multivariable interpolation for planar EM subcircuits; enhanced full planar structure Solver on Demand; multiple user-specified data extrapolation types for smooth transient simulation of band-limited, frequency-based data; enhanced NC drill hole export; improved geometry data import dialogues; and expanded online documentation.
