EMC Studio v6.0 available

New Features and Improvements in Matrix Partition Solution

EMC Studio 6.0 provides improved Matrix Partitioning calculation scheme. This includes:

  • Improvement of calculation scheme: less HD space required, easier parallel cluster calculations
  • Optimized task processing: one input file definition for set of problems, one execution of computational solver
  • Improvements in Layers organization for geometry objects
  • Layer Sets for convenient definition of calculation task and separate view of each model variation


Detection of Geometry Elements Related to Dielectric Substrate

For correct simulations of glass antenna optimization problems using Matrix Partitioning scheme all metallic elements affected by dielectric substrate must be placed to the same Base Layer or Additional Layers Set as dielectric. New geometry selection tool provides fast and convenient access to triangles and wire segments related to particular dielectric substrate.


New Features and Improvements in Multi Excitation Solution

EMC Studio 6.0 provides improved Multi Excitation calculation scheme. This includes:

  • Improvement of calculation scheme: less HD space required, easier parallel cluster calculations
  • Optimized task processing: one input file definition for set of problems, one execution of computational solver
  • Excitation Sets allows to group several excitation sources for convenient definition of calculation task


New Ideology of S, Y, Z Solution – Multiport Solution

EMC Studio 6.0 provides new ideology of Multiport solution. This includes:

  • Easier calculation approach for analysis of multiport systems
  • User-defined reference impedance
  • User-defined type of output network parameters (S, Z or Y)

Field Reference Level – Iso-line and Iso-surface Definition

EMC Studio 6.0 provides new field reference levels visualization options for convenient analysis of smart entry antenna systems – Iso-line and Iso-surface modes.


LF Magnetic Field Analysis Type for Low Frequency Problems

New LF Magnetic Field Analysis Type in EMC Studio 6.0 provides numerical modeling of low frequency magnetic fields interaction with thin 3D sheets characterized by combined resistive and magnetic properties. Automotive and industrial magnetic shielding problems can be effectively solved in frequency range from DC up to several MHz.


Extension of Shield Shapes

EMC Studio 6.0 provides extended functionality for cable shields in Hybrid Analysis Type:

  • Shielded Ribbon Cables Support
  • Outer Covering Support for Coaxial, Ribbon and Multi Cables

IBIS Devices Support

IBIS is the Input/Output Buffer Information Specification from the Electronics Industry Alliance. IBIS is a behavioral model that describes the electrical characteristics of the digital inputs and outputs of a ECU through V/I and V/T data without providing the actual circuit information. An IBIS model consists of tabular data made up of current and voltage values in the output and input pins, as well as the voltage and time relationship at the output pins under rising or falling switching conditions. This tabulated data represents the behavior of the ECU.

In order to introduce ECU behavioral characteristics to system simulation model EMC Studio 6.0 provides new type of deviceВ – IBIS Device.
