    HFSS™ v12

    PREVIEW
    HFSS™ is the industry-standard software for 3D full-wave electromagnetic field simulation for the design,
    simulation, and validation of complex RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave devices. Additionally, HFSS is critical for
    the design of high-speed channels and power-delivery systems in modern, high-performance electronics.

    The release of HFSS v12 later this year will include many new features and high-performance computing options
    that will help users to solve larger problems more efficiently and to help them to design and optimize cutting
    edge products.
