Studio Suite v. 2012 System Assembly and Modeling module provides an environment that simplifies simulation project management. Compares results of different solvers or model configurations within one simulation project. A linked sequence of solver runs can be initiated. All simulations and links can be defined to enable, for example, a seamless multiphysics work flow. Can be used to set up 3D systems built of various components. Simulation tasks can be defined that include single or multiple components; can specify which components should be simulated in 3D, and which should be represented by S-parameters or an equivalent field source. Can create and simulate system in full 3D.

EMPro 2011.11 3D modeling and simulation platform, for creating 3D models and analyze electrical performance of packages, connectors, antennas and other RF components, introduces key improvements to the FEM simulator:

ADS 2011.10 electronic design automation software for RF, microwave and signal integrity applications, now features a design documentation notebook for creating and sharing all or selected views of schematics, layout and data displays, and generate PDF and PostScript outputs files;

ProtoLaser U3 structures circuit layouts directly on laminated materials such as FR-4. Displays high beam quality as a UV laser system and can geometrically structure conductors with a 100µm pitch, based on 70µm/30µm lines/spaces. Combines functions of ProtoLasers S and U for finer processing.
