Hard to believe it's already December and 11/12ths of a year's worth of CFD is behind us. And with the holidays looming, it's uncertain how many more editions of This Week in CFD are ahead of us. As my Zen friends would say, do not replay...

The annual Design Automation Conference (DAC) is coming up December 5th to 9th, next week. It is in-person in San Francisco's Moscone Center West. It will be available virtually from December 13th until January 1st. To attend in person, you must be f...

Components, or parts, are the basic building blocks of a PCB design. It is of utmost importance that the components present in the design, their graphics, electrical, and part definitions, match the latest and updated li...

This blog shows how Quantus Geometry Viewer (Quview) can be used to view various geometries like 3d views of an area generated by Quantus for debugging purposes. In addition, it shows the Connectivity checker which is is a netlist comparison utility to check the connectivity of the Quantus output netlist...

Because of last week's Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S. and the company's generosity in giving us not 2 but 3 days of rest and relaxation, last week's CFD news is shared today. And quite a cornucopia it is. The American Institute of...

Let's face it. Generating meshes for CFD is a necessary evil. Meshing is a means to an end and yet is said to require 75% of an engineer's time. NASA's CFD Vision 2030 Study called most CFD processes "onerous" and cited meshing&...

Cadence, TSMC, and Microsoft are presenting a joint webinar on December 2 (in a couple of days' time). The title is Beat Your Signoff Schedule! How to Sign Off a 10 Billion+ Transistor Design in the Cloud, and the presenters are: Vivian Jang, T...

The need for automatic mesh generation has never been clearer. The CFD Vision 2030 Study called most applied CFD “onerous” and cited meshing’s inability to generate complex meshes on the first attempt a roadblock. That’s where...
