HFWorks 2017 is a Gold Certified add-in to SolidWorks.
This is a major new release of the software that incorporates several new features at the meshing and pre-processing, solving and post-processing levels.
Below are some of the new capabilities that have been added in this release to provide users with more comprehensive simulation options and a more complete set of results.
Solvers
-
High order elements support ( High Accuracy study option)
-
Enhancements to thermal coupling simulation.
•Improved thermal solver (previous versions) -
Enhancements to Parametric Analysis.
•Importing parameters from a file.
•Thermal coupled parametric analysis -
New and faster Multi-core solvers.
-
Auto compute dielectric breakdown.
-
Added Material frequency dependent feature to S-parameters and Antannas analysis
-
Added continue run option for coupled thermal and parametric without losing existing results
Meshing
-
Results probing using an imported mesh file.
