Ansys High Frequency Product Bootcamp
This training will take you through the Ansys High Frequency technology and high-level product overview.
Intro to Ansys HFSS
Ansys HFSS, a high-frequency simulation software used for designing and analyzing high-frequency electromagnetic components, is one of the design types integrated in AEDT. HFSS offers various solvers for various applications. In this course, we will demonstrate the analysis of different types of waveguides — a simple waveguide, a stacked waveguide, twist and bent waveguides — using the WR-15 standard waveguide as an example..
Ansys HFSS Port Types
Ansys HFSS in AEDT has various options to generate incident fields that interact with a structure to produce the total fields on the computational need. Some of these excitations offered by Ansys HFSS are wave port, lumped port, and Floquet port. This course explains these port types briefly and serves as a guide for selecting the appropriate port type for your needs.
Ansys HFSS Getting Started
The HFSS Getting Started course introduces the ANSYS Electronic Desktop and familiarizes brand new HFSS users with the graphical user interface (GUI) and all of the steps in the HFSS workflow: geometry construction, boundaries and simulation space, wave and lumped ports, solution setup, frequency sweep, and post processing.
Ansys HFSS 3D Layout Getting Started
This training include following workshops: a small differential via structure, a planar antenna array, an octagonal spiral inductor, a subdesign cutout from a printed circuit board with a BGA (ball grid array) mounted on it, and a realistic cell phone example.
Ansys HFSS for Antenna Design
The HFSS Antenna course explores antenna-related HFSS topics such as radiating boundaries, including how well they absorb energy from different angles, and hybrid regions which connect different antenna simulations together.
Intro to Ansys Q3D
Ansys Q3D Extractor is a 3D quasi-static electromagnetic (EM) simulation software tool that calculates fields, equivalent circuits, S-parameters, inductances, resistances, and capacitances. This course covers the workflow required to simulate a model in Q3D Extractor using an on-chip spiral inductor as an example.
Microwave Passive Component Simulation Using Ansys Electronics Desktop
In this course, we will simulate the following microwave passive components from one of the standard microwave textbooks using Ansys HFSS, Ansys HFSS Circuit, and HFSS 3D Layout design types, which are all part of the AEDT platform: Branchline Coupler, T-junction Power Divider, Wilkinson Power Divider, Microstrip Filter and Single-section Coupler.
Introduction to Ansys SIwave
This training course walks new Ansys SIwave users through simulation steps to run various types of SI/PI analyses using real high-speed boards as examples. These steps include the use of AEDT (Ansys Electronics Desktop) circuit simulation and post-processing capabilities.

ETM using Ansys HFSS and Icepak
Every electronic device or circuit generates heat during its operation which can degrade the performance of any electronic circuit if it is above the local threshold temperature level. Thermal analysis of any electronic device is very important, as it can identify heat sources and the amount of heat generated at various operating points. This course is designed to demonstrate the workflow for electrothermal management (ETM) using HFSS and Icepak inside AEDT.
Co-simulation Using Ansys HFSS
In this course, we describe co-simulation as a method of design. By definition, the method of co-simulation involves two or more simulation types that are performed to simulate a whole system. With co-simulation, a dynamic link is created between the two tools so that the changes in one tool is reflected in the other in real time. The power of co-simulation will be demonstrated with the help of a 5G phased array application.
Ansys Q3D Signal Integrity Getting Started
The Ansys Q3D SI (signal integrity) Getting Started course emphasizes the matrix reductions that are used for grounding nets, floating nets, and specifying return paths. Designed for brand new users, this course covers Q3D workflow, solvers and solution setup, and capacitance and inductance matrix reduction.
Ansys SIwave Advanced
The ANSYS SIwave Advanced course covers EMI, DDR4, and PSI/CPA/CPM modules. Designed for users who are familiar with high-speed digital signal electronic engineering.
Ansys Icepak in Ansys Electronics Desktop Getting Started
ANSYS Icepak provides flow and thermal management solutions for many types of electronic design applications. The primary goal of this course is to cover the basics of using ANSYS Icepak in the ANSYS Electronics DeskTop (AEDT) user environment. This training will introduce the world of electronics thermal modeling through a combination of lectures, workshops and examples/demonstrations.
