RF and Microwave Design Software offers 3D FDTD analysis.
Press Release Summary:
ConcertoES(TM) features 3D geometric modeler and Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) solver. Fully capable electromagnetic design suite can be upgraded to full-scale version of design suite, Concerto v6, which adds history and parameterization tools to modeler. Full version also includes MoM solver with features for predicting installed antenna performance, optimization technology, auto mesh refinement tool, and Finite Element solver for eigenvalue analysis.
Original Press Release:
Vector Fields Introduces ConcertoES(TM)
RF and Microwave design engineers will now pay less for 3d FDTD analysis
Aurora, IL; September 25, 2006 - Vector Fields Inc., a leading provider of electromagnetic engineering software, has introduced a new variant of Concerto(TM), its advanced RF and microwave design software. ConcertoES(TM) offers 3d Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) analysis at a fraction of the cost of the full version, but with no compromise to performance or accuracy.
The new variant is being introduced with the release of Concerto version 6. It comprises Concerto's advanced 3d geometric modeler and FDTD solver, and is a fully capable electromagnetic design suite with a maximum model size that is sufficient for many applications in RF and microwave design. ConcertoES is the ideal package where cost of ownership is particularly important.
ConcertoES offers exceptional value for money and can be upgraded easily to the full-scale version of the design suite. Both versions use the same geometric modeler and model formats remain the same, making it easy to reuse models across the range.
Vector Fields Managing director, Kevin Ward, explains why the new variant of Concerto has been introduced: "Reducing the cost of FDTD modeling is a significant step to take. While the full-scale version is competitively priced, we were aware that not everyone can afford, or needs, all of the advanced capabilities that it provides. That is why we decided to introduce ConcertoES, allowing engineers to pay less for top design performance."
In addition to the launch of ConcertoES, the new version 6 of Concerto heralds a host of new features and enhancements to Concerto. Already leading the field in speed, accuracy, easy of use and all-round capability, Concerto now has a much-improved modeler with history and parameterization tools, an enhanced MoM solver with special features for predicting installed antenna performance, improved optimization technology, an auto mesh refinement tool, and a link to AWR Microwave Office. Users can also opt for a Linux 64-bit version, and a new Finite Element solver for eigen value analysis.
