Ansoft Ships HFSS v9.2
New Release Offers Increased Capacity, Design Customization and Tighter Integration for High-Speed and High-Frequency Applications
PITTSBURGH - May 3, 2004 - Ansoft Corporation (NASDAQ: ANST) announces the immediate availability of HFSS(TM) v9.2. Designers use HFSS for a broad class of high-speed and high-frequency applications, including integrated circuit (IC) devices and microwave/radio frequency (RF) components.
This new release doubles the size of addressable 3D designs through access to additional memory on Microsoft Windows(R)-based PCs, enhances the ability to automatically generate and manage electromagnetic (EM)-based design libraries through native HFSS User Defined Primitives (UPDs), and provides seamless 3D electromagnetic, circuit and system co-simulation with Ansoft Designer(TM)/Nexxim(TM).
"Our many SiGe foundry customers are requesting support for design and verification of high-speed circuits with ever-increasing complexity, and we have found great utility in the enhancements of HFSS v9.2 to support our needs in developing interconnect modeling solutions for customer design enablement," said Raminderpal Singh, Senior Engineering Manager, IBM Microelectronics. "HFSS allows us to analyze the most challenging complex IC interconnect and package designs."
The most broadly applicable enhancement to HFSS v9.2 is its increased access to a full 3GB of memory on Windows-based PCs. This increase effectively doubles the capacity of addressable designs by HFSS. The addition of UDPs in HFSS v9.2 provides for customer-specified geometric constructs and user-customizable libraries of parts. HFSS v9.2 also features tighter integration with Ansoft Designer and Nexxim through a dynamic parameterized link that allows seamless 3D electromagnetic co-simulation for RF/mixed-signal circuit simulation.
