Ansys HFSS is a 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulation software for designing and simulating high-frequency electronic products such as antennas, antenna arrays, RF or microwave components, high-speed interconnects, filters, connectors, IC packages and printed circuit boards. Engineers worldwide use Ansys HFSS software to design high-frequency, high-speed electronics found in communications systems, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), satellites, and internet-of-things (IoT) products.

HFSS Mesh Fusion’s patented technology enables much more complex designs to be simulated with the same rigor, accuracy and reliability of Ansys HFSS. It accomplishes this by applying targeted meshing technologies within the same design, appropriate to the local geometry.

HFSS Mesh Fusion continues to use the same “electromagnetically aware” adaptive meshing technology as before without compromising accuracy because a fully coupled electromagnetic matrix is solved with each adaptive mesh step and for each point in a frequency sweep.

IC mode in HFSS 3D Layout now includes support for encrypted technology files. HFSS can import encrypted technology files -and use them in simulation within a 3D layout.

Flex PCB support is included in HFSS 3D through layout components. You can import a Flex PCB layout into HFSS 3D to assemble a complete system and run simulations in a streamlined workflow.

We included additional improvements to memory resource efficiency with new upgrades to the Distributed Matrix Assembly solver.

Two new HFSS features extend our dominance in 5G/6G antenna design. Mask automation automatically uses CSV files to create an array. Metadata export allows you to export specific data from the array.

Physically accurate simulation is the only way to validate autonomous vehicle systems in a realistic timeframe. 

Simulation dramatically improves sensor capabilities, accelerates sensor-vehicle integration and enables rapid performance analysis across a wide range of operating conditions.
