Having acquired Fluent, a provider of computational fluid dynamics, and its Icewave and Icepack technologies, this company has released Version 1.1 of Icewave. For analysis of electromagnetic compatibility and interference (EMC/EMI) in electronic systems, the new version features a 64-bit solver that allows users to solve complex systems without being restricted by memory limitations of 32-bit operating systems. Through seamless sharing of the model geometry with Icepak thermal design software, EM-thermal co-simulation can be set up in several minutes, making engineering workflows that require thermal and EM analyses easier. This capability allows system designers of high-performance electronics systems to dramatically reduce time from concept to market by simulating electronic design in a single CAD environment. The shielding effectiveness of the investigated models may be calculated on demand. The introduction of surface impedance boundary conditions for coatings and resistive wires allows users to model finite-thickness conductor losses in high-frequency simulations.
