Simulation software targets EMI compliance

10 July 2013 Design Automation

Agilent Technologies announced the latest release of Electromagnetic Professional (EMPro), its 3D electromagnetic simulation software. EMPro 2013 helps design engineers identify and resolve difficult electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems, in addition to offering a number of new capabilities to reduce simulation time and increase design efficiency.

The new release allows engineers to simulate the radiated emissions of electronic circuits and components and then determine whether these emissions are within levels specified by common electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards, such as FCC Part 15, CISPR 22 and MIL-STD-461F.

This capability is enabled by new specification-compliance templates, as well as several enhancements to both EMPro’s finite element method (FEM) and finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulators.

EMPro 2013’s new enhancements cover a broad range of applications, including:

* A simulation management tool for launching remote and distributed simulations on high-end servers and compute clusters, disconnecting and later reconnecting a client computer, and receiving status updates on a mobile device.

* Increased FEM mesh performance and robustness for large designs.

* New FEM hybrid boundary conditions that result in higher simulation speed and accuracy.

* FDTD simulation enhancements in the areas of port accuracy and graphical processing unit acceleration.

* A real-time electrical connectivity checking tool in the main geometry modelling window that prevents inadvertent gaps between conductors.

* A parameterised trace component for modelling IC and printed circuit board interconnects.

* Numerous graphical user interface enhancements, in the areas of snapping, bending, length measurements, results display and managing large groups of objects.
