Virtuoso APS Supports RF Analyses in MMSIM 7.2 and MMSIM 10.1

A new multi-threading capability has greatly improved simulation speed for RF Designers!

• In MMSIM7.2, we introduced APS for Harmonic Balance analyses (multi-threaded harmonic balance simulation). 
• In MMSIM10.1, we added support for APS in Shooting PSS and small signal analyses (multi-threaded shooting pss simulation)

There are only a few limitations of APS support remaining in MMSIM 10.1. 

• QPSS and QPxx small signal analyses.
• Netlists using swapfile.
• Distributed components (mtline, nport).
• Shooting envlp.

In the cases above, Spectre Turbo code is used instead.

More information is available in an APS data sheet.
