The emGine Environment 0.9.0a9 is available for download! This is the newest update towards 0.9.0 including most of the bugfixes reported in 0.9.0a4. 

In this version you will find:

  • Examples which are easily accessible from the menu File->Examples (includes examples of a bow-tie antenna, a microstrip transmission line on Rogers 4350 substrate, a microstrip transmission line on a RO4350 substrate loaded with a capacitive resonator, a mitered bend with a microstrip transmission line and a simple scattering of a plane wave from a perfectly conducting plane)
  • The results of the simulation are stored and re-computed when you re-open the project
  • Improved robust meshing
  • Popup menus, e.g., for the editing of materials and geometries
  • Fixed export of S-Parameters for many ports (.s*p files)
  • Plane wave excitation is working again  
  • Discrete excitation located inside the simulation domain is working again, e.g., for dipole antennas

Let's MEET at the IEEE MTT-S IMS2010 in Anaheim / California

From May 23-27 2010 I will be visiting the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS 2010) in Anaheim / CA. I would be happy to meet you - the user of the emGine Environment - to hear your opinion, comments and wishes. Please contact me so that we can arrange an appointment!

I can show to you the current progress in fast 3D EM simulations of low-cost Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) filters with metallic posts (vias) and the genetic generation of electromagnetic structures.

About the emGine Environment (TM)

The emGine Environment is provided free for non-commercial purposes (see the licenses for more details) and consists of the following components:

  • Time-domain full-wave 3D electromagnetic simulator tlmGine
  • Open Source Graphical User Interface emGine GUI for the input, pre-processing and post-processing of electromagnetic models (tri-license MPL/GPL/LGPL)
  • EMM - ElectroMagnetic Model specification

 

The development of the emGine Environment(TM) is focused to have following features:

  • Accuracy
  • Speed, support for multi-core computations
  • Portability - the emGine Environment is running on multiple platforms (Windows, Linux, MacOS X)
  • Open standards and interoperability, e.g., Open Source GUI, XML-based EMM specification
  • User-friendly handling

10.10.2009

Experimental release of the complete 3D EM field simulator emGine Environment 0.9.0 is available for download.

This version includes many new features, like:

  • Definition of magnetic properties (permeability)  of materials
  • Different materials can be assigned different colors
  • View of the 3D mesh
  • True 2-Port simulations - i.e., s11, s12, s21, s22 - with reference simulations for each port
  • Simulation accuracy is specified in attenuation in dB of the energy of the simulation region
  • Plots can be scaled, moved and saved as png, pdf, jpg
  • Remote computing support with emCluster(TM)
However, the current experimental version is still missing important features like re-reading of simulation results when a simulation is re-opened, which will be present in the final 0.9 version.

05.02.2009

The source code for the emGine GUI version 0.7.5 is available for download in the download section. It contains the new AUI window manager and GDSII import library ipkiss.

03.02.2009

emGine Wiki has been started, which is the primary source for documentation, tutorials and examples for the emGine Environment.

07.07.2008

Testing release 0.7.5 is available for download. The new features in this release are:

  • Plane wave excitation in free-space
  • Import of planar multilayer GDSII (stream) geometry - for editing and creation of GDSII files you can use the great free layout editor
  • Improved computation of S-Parameters from time-domain signals
  • Export of S-Parameters in touchstone (s1p, s2p, etc..) format
  • New cool docking window manager (take a look at the screenshots!)

03.06.2008

A user mailing list has been created. The emGine-Users mailing list is provided for users of the emGine Environment to post questions, suggestions, bug reports, etc., and to encourage discussion among the users. Do not hesitate and subscribe to the mailing list today!

04.04.2008

Testing release 0.7.4 is available for download. The new features in this release include:

  • Boundary conditions (PEC/PMC/Open) setup for outer boundaries of the simulation region
  • A great Smith Chart plotting object in matplotlib which was contributed by Sherif Sayed Ahmed - take a look at the screenshots! Great work, many thanks!
  • Switching between perspective/orthogonal view
  • Top/Bottom/Front/Back/Left/Right predefined views
 

emGine 0.9.0a9 - Simulation, time-domain signals

emGine Environment is a 3D electromagnetic field simulator for microwave circuits, antennas, planar structures, microstrip transmission lines, etc. It is a full-wave 3D time-domain EM solver.

Example of a 12 port interconnection with coupling - signal integrity.

Example  of S-Parameters of a 12 port interconnection - signal integrity. Total computation time is 5 minutes on our emGine emCluster(TM).

Results, e.g., scattering parameters, phase (angle), are automatically computed when the simulation is finished. The user can then watch the result, scale, pan, export and save the plots and the results.

Example of mittered microstrip transmission line up to 20 GHz. This screenshot show the popup menu for geometries.

Examples are now easily accessible directly from the main menu. The   included examples are: RO4350 microstrip transmission line, microstrip   line loaded with a capacitive patch, bowtie antenna and a free space   scattering of plane wave from PEC wall.
