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.

Complex Worst-Case Circuit Analysis with Maple

Suhas Ms I Senior Electrical Analysis & Simulation Engineer I Aptiv & Natalia Malota I Electrical Simulation and Analysis Engineer I Aptiv

Automotive electronic products require early design verification against component, customer and standard requirements. All units must be within given limits taking into account for example manufacturing parameters distribution, ageing and temperature drift. This leads to significant analysis effort.

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

Antenna Modeling and Electromagnetic Field Distributions Using FEKO Software -Industry Presentation by Orange

Grzegorz Kinal I Orange

In this presentation, several research projects carried out at Orange Poland using Altair FEKO software will be shown as well as some antenna analysis for 5G networks using active antennas (AAS) with beamforming. Learn about the impact of electric cables on the field distribution inside a room and  the influence of obstacles on antenna characteristics.

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.
