Simberian Inc. introduces Simbeor 2008.01, an electromagnetic tool for the physical design of PCB and packaging interconnects operating at 6 Gb/s to 100 Gb/s and higher.

Features include: geometry selection for quick and precise automatic de-compositional electromagnetic analysis of PCB interconnects; a recursive convolution simulator for time-domain compliance analysis of interconnects; and interpolative frequency sweeps that accelerate electromagnetic analysis.

“Simbeor is the industry-first electromagnetic tool developed for the signal integrity and EMI engineers to enable the smooth transition into the microwave domain at low cost,” said Yuriy Shlepnev, president and founder of Simberian.

RBP Chemical Technology introduces FoamFREE ONE for primary image developers, strippers and solder mask developers. It is a silicone-free non-solvent that suppresses foaming at very low usage levels.

FoamFREE ONE leaves no residue behind or in the machine. In addition, the free-rinsing agent lowers costs and chemistry consumption.

RBP Chemical Technology introduces Microstrip ONE, a fine line resist stripper. The fully aqueous-based stripper is reported to turn resist into fine particles, allowing for complete removal.

It removes resist form beneath overplated areas and can process narrow line spacing less than 4 mils. The improved metal inhibitors promote copper etching.

Mentor Graphics Corp. introduces FloEFD v.9.0, targeting the simulation and analysis of electronics cooling applications.

Designers are able to analyze sophisticated electronic products because FloEFD integrates with MCAD design solutions. While in the MCAD environment, the design database can easily generate simulation models, providing a streamlined design flow for increased productivity and accuracy.

Features include access to a wide range of engineering databases and libraries and Joule heating. FloEFD suite includes FloEFD Pro and FloEFD V5, for support of PTC Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire and Dassault Systems CATIA V5 platforms.

Ucamco introduces Integr8tor v.4.1. Integr8tor is an automatic input and analysis tool designed to increase front-end throughput by up to 30%. Automatic data input and design analysis capabilities provide job parameters for fast and accurate quotations.

Version 4.1 features a user interface based on Adobe’s Flex. Integr8tor runs securely on major browser and desktop systems, and a downloadable active PDF Request For Quotation form allows users to input non-CAD job parameters in a format that is directly read by Integr8tor. This saves time and reduces errors.

The latest version allows users more options to intervene directly where data is ambiguous or incomplete. Integr8tor runs in both Ucamco UCAM and Frontline Genesis environments.
