Description

Ansys HFSS is a versatile 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulation tool used for the design and analysis of high-frequency electronic devices such as antennas, interconnects, connectors, integrated circuits (ICs), and printed circuit boards (PCBs). This powerful software allows engineers to create and evaluate a wide range of high-frequency electronic products, including antenna arrays, RF and microwave components, and filters. Renowned among engineers globally, Ansys HFSS is essential for developing high-speed electronics utilized in various applications like communication systems, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), satellites, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The software's exceptional performance and precision empower engineers to tackle complex challenges related to RF, microwave, IC, PCB, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues. With a robust suite of solvers, Ansys HFSS effectively addresses a myriad of electromagnetic challenges, making it an indispensable resource in the field of electronic design. As technology progresses, the relevance of such simulation tools becomes increasingly critical in ensuring optimal performance in modern electronic systems.

Description

DipTrace is a professional PCB design suite from Novarm Ltd, in continuous development since 2004 and used by over 30,000 engineers across 50+ countries. Companies in aerospace, defense, medical devices, and industrial electronics rely on it for production work. The suite covers the full design flow in one environment. Schematic Capture handles multi-sheet hierarchical projects with electrical rule check, a Digital SPICE Simulator for analog and digital circuits, and cross-selection with the board. PCB Layout provides interactive push-and-shove editing, where moving or rotating a placed component displaces neighbouring traces and vias as you work, and dragged traces route themselves around pads, keepouts, and existing copper. Designers choose whether design rules are enforced at all times or violations are permitted deliberately. High-speed work is supported through differential pair routing, length matching, layer stackup management, and a PCB calculator. Manufacturing output covers Gerber X2, ODB++, IPC-2581, NC Drill, and STEP for mechanical CAD. Version 5.3 introduced a native XML project format that mirrors the binary format feature for feature, making designs practical to keep under Git or another version control system. Component sourcing runs through a database-powered search with Mouser integration and SnapEDA access to more than 10 million parts. Projects import from Altium, KiCad, Eagle, OrCAD, EasyEDA Pro, Pulsonix, and PADS. DipTrace runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Licensing is perpetual — bought once, with no subscription or maintenance fees — across five editions starting at $75. Technical support is provided to every user, including those on the free edition.
