It was finilized last week (beta period has finished), but not released yet. The one that university used was beta. As to new features, I don't have complete info, but heard that they were going to add the memory HFSS could address (up to 3 GB).
As far as I know, at present they're working on Ansoft links 3.
why care this?Do it make something very progress?
In practice,I find that designer1.1 and hfss9.1 can co-simulation.But it is very very slow.I don't know why?
So I like hfss8 and senrenad 8.
