Hi!
I'm a user of HFSS. Can anyone explain me the differences between HFSS and Designer?
What are the suitable applications of each one?
Thank you!

Ansoft Designer® provides an integrated schematic and design management front-end for complex analog, RF and mixed-signal applications. By leveraging advanced electromagnetic field simulators dynamically linked to powerful circuit and system simulation, Ansoft Designer enables engineers to design, optimize, and validate component, circuit, and system performance long before building a prototype in hardware.
New in Ansoft Designer v3.5
Design Validation
Excitations from Circuit & Nexxim simulations now included in HFSS and planarEM co-simulations
Allows EM-based current densities and field values to include phase and amplitude information from circuit sources and design.
EM sub-circuits true field values can been visualized and radiation patterns can be calculated
Optional common reference node for dynamic link objects
Additional DRC commands including: overlap, overhang, enclose, notch
Planar EM simulation enhancements
Enhanced SOD calibration for planarEM elements
Calibration for CPW elements in planarEM
FSS mesh continuity
Methods to export near fields & currents
Enhanced port solver accuracy
Design Capture
Layout
DXF import - support for different x & y scales for imported blocks
3D view of linked HFSS and Q3D projects in Designer's 3D viewer
Enhanced speed
Object selection (picking) from 3D viewer
Schematic
Schematic wiring help w/icons
Wire routing enhancements
Support for other types of graphics (logo's, bitmaps, etc.) in schematic
ANSI borders
GUI & Design Automation
Circuit translation from Designer to Nexxim schematics
Output variables from dynamic link objects visible in Designer
HFSS™ is the industry-standard software for S-parameter, Full-Wave SPICE™ extraction, and 3D electromagnetic field simulation of high-frequency and high-speed components. Engineers rely on the accuracy, capacity, and performance of HFSS to design on-chip embedded passives, IC packages, PCB interconnects, antennas, RF/microwave components, and biomedical devices.
HFSS improves engineering productivity, reduces development time, and better assures first-pass design success. HFSS v11 can solve complex geometries 2-5X faster and use half the memory, allowing users to expand beyond what they ever thought possible with simulation technology. Additionally, HFSS v11 includes new automation features, user-interface refinement, and data linking capability, making it easy to design, simulate, and validate complex high-performance RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave devices, high-speed channels, and complete power-delivery systems in modern, high-performance electronics.

| the main diference in planar circuits is that designer assumes an infinite substrate and hff not.

huge difference. in resume you need planar em you should use designer, if you need more complex geometries simulations hfss, even complex than that you should use some nec based software like 4nec2.

| Why is NEC even better that HFSS for large and complex structures?

16 Nov 2007 16:17 difference between designer hfss |
|
|
|
|
it more versatile, for example look at my sputnik design. i dont think i could have done in such a simple way in hfss.
