ANSYS HFSS
ANSYS HFSS: 3D EM Simulation Software
ANSYS HFSS is a 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulation software for designing and simulating high-frequency electronic products such as antennas, IoT devices, mobile phones, satellites, and radars. It enables engineers to predict electromagnetic field behavior and performance.
What is ANSYS HFSS?
ANSYS HFSS (High Frequency Structural Simulator) is a specialist finite element analysis (FEA) software used to design and simulate high-frequency electronic products such as antennas, antennas arrays, RF/microwave components, high-speed interconnects, filters, connectors, IC packages and printed circuit boards. It can accurately calculate parameters such as S-Parameters, Resonant Frequency and Quality Factor.
HFSS empowers designers to gain deeper design insights and optimize product performance in shorter development cycles. It utilizes proven finite element analysis (FEA) technology to deliver unmatched performance, accuracy and reliability. HFSS includes solutions for 3D Component Design, 3D Layout, Automotive Radar Systems Design and more.
