Elevate Your Engineering Expertise: ATCx Electronics for Engineers 2024
Watch featured presentations from the global virtual event.
03 Sep, 2024. 3 min read
Tight schedules and narrow profit margins often challenge innovators in the electronic product development process. Engineers determined to stay at the cutting edge need access to the latest tools and technologies to continue pushing the envelope.
The global virtual ATCx Electronics for Engineers 2024: Riding the Crest of Innovation event offered valuable insights into how simulation and AI are transforming electronic design across industries. Featured presentations from leading companies demonstrated successful implementations of data-driven design strategies in specialised tracks covering automotive, aerospace, and high-tech sectors.
In addition, the event featured a keynote with Joe Costello, former CEO at Metrics and considered to be one of the founders of the modern EDA industry, where he reflected on the last 40 years of the industry and what he predicted for the future of electronics and semiconductor design.
In the Altair Resource Library you can find recordings of all featured tracks from the event covering the automotive, aerospace, and high-tech sectors:

EDA - More Critical, More Valuable, More Exciting than Ever
Joe Costello I Former CEO | Metrics
Considered to be one of the founders of the modern EDA industry, Joe Costello will be the keynote speaker at this event where he will be reflecting on the last 40 years of the industry and what he predicts for the next 10 years.
Track 1: Automotive / Transportation
In this track you can engage and learn from global companies on how they are addressing their electronic system design challenges. Presenters from Jaguar Landrover, Tata Motors, Kion Group, Aptiv, AmpX, and Ashok Leyland, are on the agenda.
Accelerating Product Design and Testing for Automotive Power Electronics
Dr. Zeyu Zhang | Co-Founder, Vice President Engineering | AmpX
The design for automotive powertrain components is a comprehensive and sometimes iterative process. There always exists a gap between simulation and testing results. In this presentation, we will share perspectives of how we utilize Altair PSIM to enhance the design and testing process based on an onboard charger example.
Track 2: Aerospace / Defense
Compact Converters Using GaN HEMTs for Isolated RF Power Applications
Dr. Harish Krishnamoorthy, Associate Professor, University of Houston
Pulsed power applications require the delivery of high-energy pulses in a controlled and efficient manner. Power converters need to be specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of pulsed power systems, providing precise voltage and current regulation, fast switching capabilities, and high power density. Power supplies for pulsed power applications contribute to the advancement of various fields, including aerospace, defense, medical, and subsurface characterization.
Shift Left – Streamline Component Derating and Reliability Analyses in the Design Flow of Mission Critical Electronics
Dr. Amir Segal I BQR
Mission critical electronics must be reliable, safe and robust. Therefore, reliability analyses should be an integral part of the design flow. Despite its crucial nature, reliability analysis is frequently sidelined in the design process, often due to disconnects between reliability departments and designers, compounded by inefficient communication methods such as spreadsheets.
Track 3: High Tech
ECAD to 3D PCB Results in a Day with Altair SimSolid®
Evan Christensen I Senior Technical Account Manager, Altair
In conventional 3D PCB simulations, meshing is involved, which can be quite time-consuming but is essential for accurate results. However, SimSolid has revolutionized this process by eliminating the need for meshing, thereby significantly reducing the pre-processing time. Its highly efficient iterative solving technique is capable of handling large models, allowing engineers to evaluate design iterations much faster in their design cycles. This session will showcase hands-on demonstrations of how to quickly and efficiently develop 3D PCB designs.
