Business Wire
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
