The schematic-based MEMS design environment ARCHITECT features a 3D visualization tool called Scene3D, which allows users to create 3D views of an ARCHITECT schematic and visualize simulation results with fully contoured 3D animations. Whether designing next generation gyroscopes, accelerometers, oscillators, RF switches, RF filters, optical mirrors or microphones, ARCHITECT with Scene3D not only reportedly helps the user ease the design process, but also document and communicate from initial steps to full production, across all design and management levels. ARCHITECT Scene3D provides output filters to generate 2D masks or 3D solid models in standard formats, making it fit seamlessly into most established design flows.
