Historical Stock Chart
From Jul 2019 to Jul 2024
Ansoft Corporation (NASDAQ: ANST) announces Q3D Extractor®
v8, the latest version of the company's 3D parasitic extraction
software. Q3D Extractor efficiently performs both the 2D and 3D
electromagnetic field simulation required to extract RLCG parameters
from an interconnect structure and automatically generates an equivalent
SPICE circuit model for use in Nexxim®,
the company’s high-capacity circuit simulator,
or other Berkeley SPICE-compatible tools. These models provide an
EM-based design synthesis solution for on-chip passives and speed the
design and optimization of high-performance structures in order to
achieve first-pass timing closure.
Q3D Extractor v8 includes a new capacitance solver that is capable of
extracting the capacitance and conductance with lossy dielectrics. This
new solver is optimized to exploit available computer memory and perform
multiple frequency evaluations and allows users to model infinite ground
planes.
Additionally, the Ansoft next-generation desktop architecture has been
added to the 2D extractor tool. This intuitive, easy-to-use interface
offers many new usability enhancements, including the ability to perform
discrete and interpolating frequency sweeps, simplified problem setup,
fully scriptable report editor, enhanced post-processing and advanced
product coupling capability with Nexxim and Simplorer®,
Ansoft’s multi-domain system simulation
software.
Engineers use Q3D Extractor to understand the performance of high-speed
electronic designs and perform signal integrity analysis, including
crosstalk, ground bounce, interconnect delays and ringing analyses.
Additionally, Q3D Extractor is combined with Simplorer in high-power
applications where users extract parasitics from cables and bus bars to
predict EMI in electric drive systems.
Highlights of Q3D Extractor v8 include:
New Capacitance solver in Q3D Extractor that solves for C and G in
lossy dielectrics
Next-generation desktop architecture for 2D Extractor
Infinite ground plane capability
Multiprocessing and Distributed Analysis options
Frequency-dependent dielectric loss model (Djordjevic-Sarkar)
