EDI CON Online: TrueVolume Meshing in Sonnet: A 3D Model for Thick Cross-Sections

With modern microwave designs pushing the envelope with both frequency and metal cross-section, it is more important than ever to properly model thickness. With the upcoming TrueVolume subsetions from Sonnet, it will be possible to simulate the effects of full 3D currents and fields inside of a 3D-planar simulator. A live demonstration of the subsections, and their benefits to accuracy and performance precedes a Q&A.
