Applying Response Surface Modelling (RSM) techniques, these complementary methods allow engineers to optimise over a continuous design space and/or to specify discrete steps between instances, respectively.
The new discrete step optimisation can be configured to ensure that the resulting optimised design is realisable for a given manufacturing process.
"Ansoft seeks to provide our customers with every productivity advantage possible," said Nancy Lambert, Ansoft's vice president of research and development.
"Optimetrics enables engineers to automate the design optimisation process for even the most challenging high-performance electronic devices, identify desirable design features early in the development cycle and intelligently seek optimal values for design parameters that meet design targets, all while reducing engineering design time." Optimetrics v4 also supports a Distributed Analysis option that enables users to concurrently solve parametric variations on separate machines within a network and then automatically reassemble the variations.
This methodology allows for greater throughput of previously intractable parametric evaluations.
The combination of Ansoft's high-performance EDA software products and Optimetrics provides an efficient, automated design-optimisation environment.
When further complemented by the Distributed Analysis option, greater computational throughput is achieved, allowing engineers to deliver optimised, high-performance electronic designs in less time.
