Electronics
Shorten Time to Market
Manufacturers heavily invest in physical prototyping for product validation, but simulation expedites time to market by enabling virtual testing of diverse design ideas and parameters. This streamlined approach allows for efficient mass testing, reducing repetitive physical testing and redesign. Replacing one prototype cycle with simulation can lead to products reaching the market several months ahead of competitors.

Delighting Customers
From Conceptual Design to Reality: Altair’s industrial design services can help customers with everything from user research to branding to design and prototyping. Altair® Inspire™ Studio software enhances creativity. Users can combine different modeling techniques to effortlessly create and explore even the most challenging designs.
Antenna Design and Placement: Altair® Feko®is widely used for the design of radio and TV, wireless, cellular, communication, remote keyless entry, tire pressure monitoring, satellite positioning, radars, RFID and other antennas. Feko’s Method of Moments (MoM) solver is used for antenna design. Model decomposition is possible with accelerated full-wave methods like Multi-level Fast Multipole Method (MLFMM), or asymptotic methods like Physical Optics (PO), Ray Launching Geometrical Optics (RL-GO) or Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD).
Device Compatibility: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) have become key topics with the proliferation of connected devices, both for component integration and satisfying EMC regulatory requirements. Feko can simulate both the radiation and irradiation of cables, antennas, and devices to inform the design of effective shielding. Feko also provides insight into the interactions of electromagnetic fields close to the body, ensuring safety while enough signal is radiated.
