New Features in Sonnet Lite V12
The meshing engine in Sonnet has been tuned and improved to yield the same solid accuracy, but with fewer discretizations. Fewer discretizations leads to reduced memory requirements and faster analysis...but without reduction in Sonnet's hallmark accuracy.
We've advanced our geometry control, as well as substrate and conductor properties so you can control them parametrically with equations. Equations can depend upon defined variables, standard math functions and constants (like FREQ).
Radial parameters can now be used to control circular geometries like vias, radial bends and fan stubs. All geometry control parameters now provide scaling with respect to distance from a reference point.
Take any planar multi-conductor transmission line combination and extract RLCG matrices for time domain simulation. Sonnet provides matrices that can be used directly in Cadence Spectre time domain simulations.
Sonnet's high frequency EM software integrates seamlessly with EDA design frameworks from Agilent, Applied Wave Research. Our framework interfaces have been updated and enhanced.
Dielectric and metal properties and thicknesses may be controlled parametrically. Set, sweep, or optimize material properties and thicknesses in your geometry.
Parameter Control in Post-Processors
Reference and view the computed current density or far-field radiation pattern for any swept-parameter analysis. Change views between geometry iterations quickly within the Current Density or Far Field Viewers.
Define your own key bindings (hot keys), new measuring tape tool, movable Local Origin, "hover over" property display, and other improvements to simplify your work in the Sonnet Project Editor
