Ansoft Corporation announces the release of HFSS v11. This release of Ansoft's flagship product features new technology that delivers even greater accuracy, capacity and performance than before. HFSS v11 includes new higher-order hierarchical basis functions combined with an iterative solver that provides accurate fields using smaller meshes and thus more efficient solutions for large multi-wavelength structures.

A new fault tolerant, high-quality finite element meshing algorithm allows HFSS to simulate complex models two to five times faster using half of the memory compared to previous versions.

Highlights of HFSS v11

• Higher-order, hierarchical basis functions
• Iterative solver
• Enhanced port solver
• Floquet ports
• Genetic algorithm to expand optimization choices
• Auto-assign capability for terminals
• Fault tolerant, high-quality finite element mesh generation algorithm
• Automatic Distributed Solve of discrete and interpolating frequency sweeps
• Distributed Solve for parametric sweeps, sensitivity and statistical analysis
• Refined user interface and dynamic link capabilities

HFSS v11 is available on the following operating systems: Microsoft Windows XP Professional; Windows XP x64 Edition; Windows Server 2003; Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition; Red Hat Enterprise Linux v3 and v4; and Solaris 8, 9 and 10.
