The Ansys extension is an affordable optional feature that makes additional tools and PCB/electronics signal integrity capabilities available in Fusion and allows you to perform electromagnetic analysis of critical signals within PCBs. The extension allows you to inspect and troubleshoot signal issues on PCBs early in the design process to improve product compliance with EMC and EMI (electromagnetic compatibility and interference) testing, reduce costly physical testing of PCB prototypes and speed development.

Extension benefits

Creating reliable products: Improve compliance of high-speed PCB designs with EMI and EMC testing standards using the PCB signal integrity analysis tools available in Fusion.

Acceleration of the development cycle: Improving the product development process by virtualizing electromagnetic analysis and simulation in the early PCB design phase.

Reducing the cost of physical testing: Minimize costly physical PCB prototyping and repeated board rotation testing by accessing the electromagnetic performance signals of your design.

Included signal integrity analysis tools

PCB impedance adjustment: Manage and control the impedance for each critical signal across the board for optimal high-speed design performance.

Signal integrity analysis: Signal analysis of the design to check parameters characterizing the high-speed design, such as signal delay, track length, impedance and coupling.

Simple configuration: With simple input parameters and configuration, only the necessary signals can be selected for quick analysis.

Visual indication of violation: Easily visually identify any potential impedance or signal coupling problem using a color-coded overlay on a 2D PCB design.
