    What is better for RF system design Ansoft or Simulink?

    RF system design is a wide area, I am not sure what would you like to do. Bear in mind the price, Ansoft is about 5 times more expensive than Simulink. However, if you are a student, you can make simple models using student version of Ansoft Designer, or get evaluation version of Matlab. I...

    Have you ever used Ansoft Designer in linux 64 bits or windows 7 home premium???

    Sorry, none of Ansof product runs on Linux. Your best bet is in the previous reply. Regards ---------- Post added at 13:57 ---------- Previous post was at 13:33 ---------- Please ignore my previous comment, I was wrong, they do support SuSE and RedHut 64 bit. Regards

    HFSS failed to start with ot1000as.dll module fault

    Providing your evaluation period has not expired, I believe there is a corrupt licence check file. These files are usually burried somwhere outside of Ansoft folder and could be tricky to find. I will give you the advice you would not like to hear: Reformat your hard drive and install it all...

    ansoft designer needed

    Due to the reasons I can't understand, Ansoft stopped with student versions of their software years ago. Instead they sell reasonably cheap licences to Universities. There is no student version available any more, sorry. Regards ZZ

    planar em simulation within hfss

    You can run MoM simulation on HFSS. This functionality has been added since version 12, I think. I am positive it is included in current version ( 13). I presume you have the older version. You need to see what is cheaper, to upgrade your version or get the license for Designer. By the way...

    Protel99SE in two monitors

    Which version of Windows are you using? To the best of my knowledge, the only way to do this with 99SE is to extend the screen under Windows Control Panel, providing your 2 monitors are the same.

    What are the main PCB programs now? And which are dying off

    Altium seems to have hit a soft spot between a price ~ $ 5000 and performance. They bought Protel couple years ago and killed their own P-CAD. Mentor graphics is relaly well designed and can handle many areas, but just not worth the money. As I am not using other software, can't give you my...

    need ansoft designer for antenna slot waveguide

    Why do you need ansoft desiger for wavequide slot antenna? Ansoft designer is a planar EM simulator, not realy a 3-D tool. I have seen quite a few tutorials for HFSS, which you have mentioned and I presume you have access to it, but nothing what you need. Maybe there is a tutorial for another 3D...

    what's the best solution frequency for a design with HFSS

    Re: what's the best solution frequency for a design with HFS Yes, as a general rule of thumb, use the highest frequency of interest, in this case 200 MHz. Stay away from the interpolating sweep, use discrete sweep, that will solve the model at all the frequencies. It takes a long time ( I do...

    how to add the S-file into N-port in Ansoft Designer?

    Did you copy a file header? S file consists of one line of text describing frequency range, number of ports and so on and bellow are the Parameter data. :D

    Hfss vs Ram and CPU usage ?

    I do not know which version of Hfss are you using, but all the details should be in the license.dat file, located in your admin folder. Generally speaking, HFSS is very memory hungry, part of the reason is that it is a finite element method program resulting in huge ( but sparse) matrices...

    integration of active devices in hfss

    hfss is a passive structure simulator, anything active has to be inserted as an active circuit model in Designer. :cry:
