Modelithics updates COMPLETE+3D Library for HFSS

Key Takeaways

• Modelithics updates COMPLETE+3D Library for Ansys HFSS simulation software with over 60 new models
• The library now represents over 30,000 components through equivalent-circuit models
• High-performance computing (HPC) licensing feature allows concurrent use across multiple machines
• New 3D EM and 3D Brick EM models added for various components, including capacitors and inductors

Introduction to Modelithics COMPLETE+3D Library

The Modelithics COMPLETE+3D Library is a comprehensive collection of models for use with Ansys HFSS simulation software, part of the Synopsys portfolio. The latest update to the library includes over 60 new models, representing 2,600 components, bringing the total number of components represented to over 30,000.

New Features and Models

The update introduces a new HPC licensing feature, allowing a single license seat to be used concurrently across multiple machines during simulations. This enables users to batch and distribute simulation workloads without needing an additional license seat for each machine. The HPC licensing feature is available for Modelithics floating and cloud-based licenses.

New 3D EM and 3D Brick EM Models

The release adds new 3D EM and 3D Brick EM models for various components, including:

• Capacitors from Amotech, Kyocera-AVX, Murata, and Yageo
• Macom MADP000907-14020 diode, validated up to 110 GHz
• Piconics MK Series inductor, with Part Value scalability feature and validated up to 67 GHz

Comparison of New Models

Microwave Global Models and Nonlinear Diode Models

The release includes 43 new Microwave Global Models for components from various manufacturers, including Amotech, Coilcraft, and Kyocera-AVX. These models feature Part Value scaling, substrate scaling, pad scaling, and selectable orientation, and are validated up to 110 GHz. Additionally, new nonlinear diode models are added for Infineon, Macom, Microsemi, Skyworks, and Toshiba.

Modelithics Vendor Partner (MVP) Program

Through the MVP program, 90-day use of Modelithics models for MVP components is available at no charge for select manufacturers, including Amotech, Coilcraft, and Kyocera-AVX.

Bottom Line

The updated Modelithics COMPLETE+3D Library for Ansys HFSS simulation software offers a comprehensive collection of models for use in electromagnetic simulations. With the introduction of new HPC licensing, 3D EM and 3D Brick EM models, and Microwave Global Models, users can improve their simulation workflow and accuracy.
