Accuracy Improvements

AXIEM

• Improved modeling of lossy boundary conditions.
• Improved modeling of MIM capacitors, or other structures with very thin dielectric layers.

Analyst

• Improved conductor loss accuracy for wave ports.

APLAC

• More accurate Harmonic Balance iterations.
• Improved accuracy when solving inductor currents.
• Auto Sparse solver improvements.
• Increased Spectre compatibility.

Analyst

• Simulate with frequency dependent materials.
• More accurate excitations; wave ports no longer are required to align with the boundary.

APLAC

• Improved compatibility with Cadence Spectre models.
• Introduced harmonic balance support for frequency dependent parameters.
• Noise analysis accuracy improved.

Analyst

• Simulate more accurately with new surface roughness model

APLAC

• See improved results in time domain with model extraction improvements and a new error function algorithm

AXIEM

• Accuracy where it is needed with AFS refinements
