Automatic Adaptive Meshing
By specifying only the geometry, material properties, and desired output, the software automatically generates a mesh using a highly robust, non-uniform meshing technique. This includes multithreading capability to reduce memory usage and accelerate simulation time.
Equivalent Circuit Model Creation
You can generate equivalent circuit models (like SPICE subcircuits or other behavioural models) depending on the chosen solver. Its 2D and 3D field simulation solvers produce various formats such as Simplorer SML, Touchstone 1.0 and 2.0, PSpice, Spectre, IBIS ICM/PKG models, and Ansys CPP models.
3D Quasi-Static Field Solvers
The advanced quasi-static 3D electromagnetic field solver is based on the method of moments (MoM) and is accelerated by the multilevel fast multipole method (MLFMM). Results encompass proximity and skin effects, dielectric and ohmic losses, and frequency dependencies.
Quick 2D Transmission Line Solver
This software includes a powerful quasi-static 2D electromagnetic field solver that utilizes the finite element method (FEM) to compute per-unit-length RLCG parameters for cables and arbitrary multi-conductor transmission lines. It calculates characteristic impedance matrices, propagation speed, delay, attenuation and effective permittivity.
Parametric Analysis, Optimization
The built-in Optimetrics module allows for parameterizing the geometry and material properties of a design. This facilitates exploration of how varying these parameters impacts design outcomes, enabling efficient design of experiments and optimizations.
