Delcross Technologies has announced version 4.0 release of its Savant software for modeling the installed performance of antennas on electrically large vehicles.
New features in this release of Savant include multi-bounce edge-diffraction rays that improve accuracy by modeling antenna interactions with shadowed portions of the platform, an integrated workflow with CST STUDIO SUITE 2014 for importing full-wave antenna models for hybrid simulation, a new Scene Tree capability to enable articulated geometry assemblies and a new feature for generating parametric CAD models and platform parts.
Changes to existing features have also been added, including enhanced robustness for creeping wave simulation, an improved curvature extraction capability for tessellated CAD models, multi-threaded PTD wedge computation, the ability to import CAD models in non-metric units, improved GPU performance and many new GUI diagnostic and data presentation improvements.
