What is FloTHERM PCB? FloTHERM PCB is a unique, newsoftware program for streamlining conceptdevelopment of printed-circuit boards(PCBs), whilst ensuring good thermaldesign and accelerating the PCB designprocess. FloTHERM PCB facilitates collaborationbetween product marketing, electronicengineers and mechanical engineerson PCB design, particularly during theconceptual phase of the design process.FloTHERM PCB promotes a conceptualdesign process that is derived from thefunctional block diagram. Changesmade to the functional block diagram areinstantly reflected in the physical layoutand thermal representations. This keepsall team members in sync and enablesthem to contribute to concept developmentin real time. The result is pre-optimizedconcepts in less time and drasticreductions in late-cycle rework as productmarketing, mechanical, thermal andmanufacturing issues are solved beforeconcept commit. Who can use FloTHERM PCB? FloTHERM PCB is designed to be...

Sonnet\’s suites of high-frequency electromagnetic (EM) Software are aimed at today\’s demanding design challenges involving predominantly planar (3D planar) circuits and antennas. Predominantly planar circuits include microstrip, stripline, coplanar waveguide, PCB (single and multiple layers) and combinations with vias, vertical metal sheets (z-directed strips), and any number of layers of metal traces embedded in stratified dielectric material. The Sonnet® Suites™ develop precise RF models (S-, Y-, Z-parameters or extracted SPICE model) for planar circuits and antennas. The software requires a physical description of your circuit (arbitrary layout and material properties for metal and dielectrics), and employs a rigorous Method-of-Moments EM analysis based on Maxwell\’s equations that includes all parasitic, cross-coupling, enclosure and package resonance effects. Sonnet maintains a single, dedicated...

Version 7.0 is the next step in the on-going growth of Pulsonix, responding to customer demand and continuing to provide best-in-class range of functionality. Below is an overview of the major new features in the release.Pulsonix now supports STEP, the industry standard for interfacing to Mechanical CAD systems. This allows you to provide a detailed 3D model of your PCB to your MCAD system such as SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor, including populating the board with accurate 3D component representations by referencing STEP models. Many of these models are provided by component suppliers free of charge and can be downloaded from the internet, then referenced from your PCB design in just a few quick steps.Scripting Scripts can be written using a...

JMAG-Designer is a simulation software for electromechanical design striving to be easy to use while providing versatility to support users from conceptual design to comprehensive analyses.Some of the magnificent features that have been implemented are indicated below. One of the main features of JMAG version 10.3 is a new configuration to reduce the procedures required to perform multiple calculations. This type of configuration is vital when designing and evaluating machines. Designs need to be examined by evaluating a multitude of possible dimensions to achieve the highest quality possible. The number of dimensions that are analyzed is directly related to the quality of the design. JMAG version 10.3 encompasses features to systemize and simplify the evaluation and design process. At the...
