Electronics Desktop is the premier, unified platform for electromagnetic, circuit and system simulation. HFSS, Maxwell, Q3D Extractor and Simplorer are built into the Electronics Desktop, which serves as a universal pre and post processor for these tools.
With ANSYS Electronics Desktop, you can integrate rigorous electromagnetic analysis with system and circuit simulation in a comprehensive, easy-to-use design platform.
More About Electronics Desktop
- The Solver on Demand technology enables you to combine electromagnetic simulators with circuit- and system-level simulations to explore full system performance.
- Electronics Desktop products link to ANSYS Workbench for full multiphysics simulation and optimization of your product under real-world physical conditions.
Features of Electronics Desktop
The ANSYS Electronics Desktop environment houses the ANSYS gold-standard electromagnetics simulation applications. Tight integration among the simulators yields unprecedented ease of use for setup and solution of complex simulations for design and optimization. It is the native desktop for HFSS, Maxwell, Q3D, Simplorer and other simulators.
The ANSYS Electronics Desktop has a high-performance 3-D layout interface as a complement to the traditional arbitrary 3-D CAD-based modeling interface. The HFSS 3D Layout interface is a significant productivity enhancement for IC Package and PCB designers, as it allows them to easily create fully parametric layout-based models to be solved by ANSYS HFSS. Electromagnetic field solutions are fully 3-D; only the geometry is layer-based. Models of printed circuit boards (PCB), electronic packages and custom integrated circuits can be brought into the desktop from popular electronic design automation (EDA) tools. What’s more, the 3-D layout interfaces with specialized HFSS meshing engines to speed solutions.
ANSYS Electronics Desktop products support both Python and Visual Basic scripting. You can record keyboard and mouse inputs while creating models, setting boundary conditions, simulation parameters, and post-processing.
ANSYS Electronics Desktop is available in two configurations:
- Full version for all 3-D and 2-D circuits and systems
- Core version for 2-D circuits and systems

New capabilities introduced in ANSYS HFSS enable you to design, optimize and share high-frequency components across engineering departments and throughout the supply chain, leveraging component IP at higher levels of integration. Just as S-parameters revolutionized microwave design through black-box electrical representation of high-frequency components, this new capability will streamline design by providing full 3-D accuracy to multiscale assemblies, which in turn accelerates placement studies and robust design for manufacturing and supports collaboration through component sharing.
