ANSYS HFSS ANSYS HFSS software is the industry-standard simulation tool for 3-D full-wave electromagnetic field simulation and is essential for the design of high-frequency and high-speed component design. HFSS offers multiple state-of the-art solver technologies based on either the proven finite element method or the well established integral equation method. You can select the appropriate solver for the type of simulation you are performing.

With HFSS, engineers can extract scattering matrix parameters (S,Y, Z parameters), visualize 3-D electromagnetic fields (near- and far-field) and generate ANSYS Full-Wave SPICE models that link to circuit simulations. Signal integrity engineers use HFSS within established EDA design flows to evaluate signal quality, including transmission path losses, reflection loss due to impedance mismatches, parasitic coupling and radiation.

From there HFSS will automatically generate an appropriate, efficient and accurate mesh for solving the problem using the selected solution technology. With HFSS the physics defines the mesh; the mesh does not define the physics. A key benefit of HFSS is its automatic adaptive meshing techniques where you are only required to specify geometry, material properties and the desired output. The meshing process uses a highly robust volumetric meshing (TAU) technique and includes multi-threading capability that reduces the amount of memory used and speeds the simulation time. This proven technology eliminates the complexity of building and refining a finite element mesh and makes advanced numerical analysis practical for all levels of your organization.
