Apr. 13, 2007 — IntelliSense has announced a major new version of its software for small-tech designers. With IntelliSuite v8.2, says company CEO, Sandeep Akkaraju, “we have now entered the nano domain.”
Akkaraju explains that researchers have been needing software to enable the development of next generation micro/nano devices. IntelliSuite v8.2 promises to facilitate the design of nanostructures as well as combined MEMS-nanostructure products.
The new version also expands upon the software’s multiphysics capability. “Next generation device design will depend upon seamless integration of fully coupled thermal, mechanical, piezo, electrostatic, magnetostatic, fluidic and high frequency electromagnetic simulation. Our focus in 2007 will be to enable interaction between these varied simulation domains in a single package,” the company says.
New IntelliSuite features include:
– Nanoscale and Carbon Nanotube simulation capabilities
– Thermo-Electro-Magneto-Mechanical (TEMM) module that allows for the design and simulation of electrostatic and magnetostatic and Lorentz force based sensors and actuators
– New 3D Boundary Element Formulation based Full Wave analysis solver designed for Fast Impedance extraction and signal integrity analysis
– Full 3D Coupled Electrostatic-Mechanical-Fluidic and High Frequency (RF FullWave) simulator optimized for the design of RF-MEMS
– Electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) based digital microfluidics module
– VisualEase, advanced data visualization and data exploration module
