Enhancement: HFSS 15.0.3 introduces a new 3D electrical layout interface. To utilize it, download and install ANSYS Designer 8.0.3. Then, launch ANSYS Designer, and insert an EM design type into the Designer desktop (Project > Insert EM Design...)
DE54625: HFSS will now reanalyze the last pass using the copied mesh for geometrically-equivalent design variations when the user selects the "Copy geometrically equivalent meshes" Optimetrics' option.
DE56281: Radiated field computation will no longer be affected by enabling/disabling differential pairs.
DE53254: The calculation of near fields in the post processor are now accurate for designs with metallic IE regions.
DE57316: The HPC for multiprocessing option will no longer adversely affect matrix assembly performance during a simulation relative to standard MP.
DE51696: An appropriate warning message now appears if a project is opened that contains designs for which licenses are not available. Closing the project without saving now does not cause any loss of data.
DE57722: Optimizations that utilize the MATLAB optimizer now gracefully abort when a variation fails to solve.
DE51920: The curved object visualization setting works correctly for all models irrespective of the "face by face" faceting option (see Tools/Options/Modeler Options/Display).
US66895: Licensing changes
- HFSS will now check out the hfss_gui license when users insert an HFSS-IE design or open an existing HFSS-IE design.
- HFSS will now attempt to check out the "designer_desktop" license if the "hfss_desktop" license is unavailable.
- Designer will now attempt to check out the "hfss_desktop" license if the "designer_desktop" license is unavailable.
