What's New in ANSYS Electronics Desktop
R19.0
ANSYS is pleased to provide a great number of new and advanced features in ANSYS Electronics
Desktop (AEDT). The new features have been developed with guidance from our most innovative
customers. These advancements deliver solutions to amplify your engineering effectiveness,
simulate your most complex electronic design challenges, and accelerate your time to market.
ANSYS is particularly pleased to release the first exposure of RCS analysis in HFSS using the
SBR+ technology in AEDT.
In addition, two very significant changes have been made to our High Performance Computing
(HPC) solution.
l All core solver technologies utilize four (4) cores without HPC License Checkout providing
faster solutions. HPC products add on top of these four cores.
l We have unified the electronics high performance computing (eHPC) with the ANSYS HPC
licenses. AEDT solvers can now optionally use ANSYS HPC or ANSYS eHPC. For
multiphysics applications a single ANSYS HPC license will accelerate all ANSYS products.
The single desktop allows users to insert and co-simulate among the following design types:
Advanced integration allows users to insert HF/SI and EM analysis into projects that co-exist, with
drag and drop dynamic links between electromagnetic simulation, circuit simulation, and system
simulation for simple problem set-up and reliable performance.
