Ansoft Designer brings together Ansoft's complete family of linear and nonlinear circuit simulators with its 3D planar electromagnetic solver in an automated design environment. This seamless integration makes it possible to solve, verify and optimize even the most complex circuits rapidly from within a single user interface.
"The long history of dedication to accuracy makes the Ansoft simulation tools the best in class for RF and microwave design," said William Martin, Principal Staff Engineer at Motorola, "which is why I rely on Ansoft for my RF integrated circuits and discrete circuit designs."
Ansoft Designer combines time-domain, frequency-domain and system-level analysis tools to fully investigate the relationship between physical aspects and electrical performance before actually fabricating circuit, subsystem or system components.
With the software's release, Ansoft introduces Solver on Demand(TM), a unique technology that gives every user, from novice to veteran, access to the most appropriate solver for a given design problem. With Ansoft Designer, all tools are always available for use, regardless of the task being performed at a specific time. The result is greatly reduced design time/complexity and greater assurance that a circuit will operate as expected without further iterations.
Ansoft Designer can operate as a stand-alone tool or be incorporated into existing design flows, based on third-party EDA tools from vendors such as Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics, and Zuken.
Availability
Ansoft Designer is available today for Windows(R) 2000 (SP2 or higher) and XP.
