3DEM Analysis

Cadence® AWR® Analyst 3D finite-element method (FEM) electomagnetic (EM) simulation and analysis simulator accelerates high-frequency product development from early physical design characterization through to full 3DEM verification. The advanced solver technology provides fast and accurate analysis of the 3D structures/interconnects found in today's complex high-frequency electronics.

Key Benefits

Integrated

In-situ analysis enables full characterization of 3D components in RF/microwave devices to ensure design success

Flexible

Parametric cell (PCell) support for 3D structures enables an FEM-based design flow that incorporates accurate, custom component libraries

Accurate

Automatic, adaptive 3D volumetric tetrahedron-based meshing provides high-quality shape fidelity to ensure reliable simulation results
