SIwave v4.0 is capable of broadband signal- and power-integrity analyses along with DC voltage and current analysis for complete boards and packages. According to Ansys, SIwave v4.0 has the ability to couple board and package electromagnetic fields with HFSS(TM) technology for complete system-level simulation. Enhanced GUI aids component management and allows simultaneous analyses and dynamic zooming. Software includes automated error checking and geometry correction and allows native merging of packages to boards.

Version 4.0 includes new features for signal-integrity, power-integrity and electromagnetic compatibility testing, providing accurate solutions beyond 10 Gb/s. Links to other products can enable accurate characterization of additional heating due to copper-resistive losses that have previously been estimated or ignored completely.

This latest release includes multiple automation enhancements that ease design flows by removing manual manipulations. Automated error checking and geometry correction have been implemented. Schematic creation, transient and QuickEye analyses setups have been automated for circuit simulation driven by electromagnetics when using SIwave with Ansoft Designer.
