ANSYS Simplorer 8.0 Software
ANSYS rolled out Simplorer 8.0 Software. Simplorer is used for the design of mechatronic and other multi-domain systems, which are commonly found in the automotive, aerospace/defense and industrial automation industries. Simplorer 8 features a powerful user interface, advanced modeling capabilities, enhanced integration with third-party simulation software, and computational performance enhancements. Simplorer 8.0 enables designers to create a highly accurate, customized design flow for rapidly emerging applications that involve multiple engineering domains.
Simplorer 8 Highlights
- Insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) device characterization tool, allowing users to quickly and accurately create average and dynamic models of power semiconductor devices
- Power Module Characterization tool, which aids in building DC-to-DC converter models by entering data directly from the manufacturers’ specifications
- Online model database that includes more than 1,200 SPICE models of common components offered by suppliers; includes a model library of ultra-capacitors from Maxwell Technologies
- Direct support for SPICE and PSPICE model text
- Co-simulation links to complementary simulation software, including Simulink, ModelSim and QuestaSim, allowing users to easily incorporate control programs and digital designs for field-programmable gate array (FPGA) semiconductor devices and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs)
- Co-simulation links with Verilog for design, verification and implementation of digital logic chips
- New function handling techniques and solver methodologies to optimize simulation performance
- Integration of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) VHDL-AMS statistical package, which is useful in defining the statistical variation of parameters of electrical, electronic, and mechatronic components and sub-systems
- Distributed solve capability that allows users to distribute parametric variations across a network of computers, enabling the exploration of more design possibilities in less time
