Performance Improvements

AXIEM

• Faster and more robust DC simulations with a true DC solver.
• Faster simulations and lower memory requirements with thick metal simulations.

Analyst

• Major reduction in peak memory usage when asking for fields at a lot of frequencies.
• Simulate larger Analyst structures than previously possible on Linux simulation farms.
• Distribute the solution for a single frequency to many Linux simulation nodes.

APLAC

• Improved initial guess for multi-tone Harmonic Balance simulations.
• Faster and more robust convergence algorithm.
• Sparse matrix preconditioner improvements.
• Faster and more accurate Fourier Transform implementation.
• More memory-efficient transient analysis.
• Faster model evaluation.
• Improved netlist read-in performance.
