With its ability to solve in excess of 1,000,000 unknowns (or nodes) in less than 2GB memory, O-Wave has more capacity and offers accurate solutions more quickly than any 3-D Full-Wave simulation tool available today. O-Wave includes many technical breakthroughs that increase productivity by allowing designers to spend more time designing, and less time preparing a project for simulation or waiting for an analysis to complete. O-Wave also offers capabilities that simply are not available from any other products, such as the ability to create fully coupled ground bounce and Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN) models of high-speed devices from full-wave simulations.

Using a triangular mesh to accurately and precisely capture complex geometries and employing a unique model-based FEM approach, PowerGrid achieves accurate full-wave results in a short amount of time. PowerGrid enables designers to analyze the AC and DC performance of IC packages and PCBs using electromagnetic (EM) simulations of any signal or supply net in your system. As a full-wave simulator, the results generated by PowerGrid are determined directly from the geometry of the PCB.

Optimal's Full-Wave Suite gives designers the ability to rapidly model very large, complex structures and to accurately simulate Adjacent Structure Coupling (ASC) for Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN) applications. This unequivocal technology enables designers to model the signal-to-signal coupling while including the effects of the complete PWR / GND planes. This innovative design offering combines O-Wave's 3D full-wave analysis for signal-signal coupling with PowerGrid, which handles the PWR / GND plane structures. Accomplish what three or more engineers can achieve in half the time when using alternative solutions.
