Fieldscale, a provider of simulation software, has announced significant enhancements to its flagship product,
Fieldscale Sense. Sense is the only product in the market that provides fully automated simulation for touch sensors. With Sense, integrated-circuit (IC) makers and touch screen manufacturers can streamline their product development, reduce costs and scale their capacity. Sense can be used in every stage of product development, by any engineer, from beginner to expert, starting from day one.
What’s unique about Fieldscale Sense:
• Unprecedented simulation speed: Sense utilizes cutting-edge algorithms that provide accurate results in an impressively short simulation time. For example, a parametric simulation of a typical double layer diamond pattern, including 16 different pointer positions, when using 256 CPU cores, is solved in about two minutes with Sense.
• Companies can go-to-market 10 times faster: Sense reduces the number of prototypes that need to be manufactured. Thanks to its virtual prototyping capabilities, companies can find all design flaws in less than a day rather than in four to six weeks using other methods or tools.
• No hand-drawn 3D geometry: Users import their proprietary patterns as standard DXF files and Sense’s intelligent engine creates the 3D touch sensor model with a click of a button.
• Sense is the only simulation software that considers the controller (IC) specifications in simulations: Users can find at once which controller works best with their touch sensor model.
• Solves complex metal mesh patterns: Ideal for designing curved, flexible or large touch screens, buttons or sliders, Sense enables users to simulate metal mesh patterns that have extremely complicated geometry with tiny details and huge aspect ratio.
• Simulation accuracy within 3 percent: Sense simulation results have been validated against measurements from actual touch sensor manufacturers.
