Description

PathWave EM DesignWhat’s New in PathWave EM Design 2020 Update 1.0?

PathWave EM Design 2020 Update 1.0 continues to be a leading 3D electromagnetic (3D EM) modeling and simulation environment, which is also integrated with the PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) 2020 design flow. This latest update release offers some increased robustness by leveraging an updated FEM Mesher and enhanced flexibility to calibrate ports.

PathWave EM Design 2020 Update 1.0 is a major update release with the addition of these key capabilities:

  • FEM improvements
    • A new calibration control has been added that prevents the removal of mutual inductance between two calibrated internal ports.
  • Issues Addressed:
    • When using EMPro with a dongle license (hardware key), the GUI or simulator could get in a hanging state.
    • Changing the meshing order could lead to a crash
    • Selecting simulation results to reuse could lead to a crash
    • Changing the frequency plan could lead to a crash
    • In the Python 3 version of EMPro, the EMI Emission Calculation tool didn’t initialize the waveform
  • The Python API documentation has been updated
