OmniSim Version 8.0: The World's First Hybrid Mesh
The latest version of OmniSim features the world's first hybrid mesh of tetrahedra and rectangular prisms for the FETD engine. OmniSim utilizes both rectangular and triangular elements in 2D (or rectangular prisms and tetrahedra in 3D) to significantly reduce simulation runtime.
Triangular elements precisely conform to the boundaries of more complex regions, such as inclined surfaces or curves, while rectangular elements, with lower computational demands, model open spaces. Additionally, rectangular (prismatic) elements are much more efficient in meshing thin layers compared to triangles (tetrahedra).
OmniSim Version 8.0 also includes the following features:
- Ability to extrude 2D shapes to create tapered waveguides.
- Full rotation capability for 3D shapes.
- Real-time 3D viewing of devices during the design phase.
- Multiple bug fixes.
