FasterCap. Capacitance extraction at scale.

Our premium 3D and 2D multi-platform parallel capacitance field solver

FasterCap is a powerful three- and two-dimensional capactiance extraction program.
Build upon state-of-the-art technology, overcoming the limitations of FastCap2, and able to handle lossy dielectrics, with automatic mesh refinement, error control, and out-of-core capabilities, FasterCap can handle huge geometrical models without resorting to any windowing technique, and therefore preserving the far-away interactions for maximum accuracy.
Out-of-Core capabilities are also greatly enhanced by the recent widespread availability of the new solid-state Hard-Disks with fast access times. Combined with the smart FasterCap algorithms that efficiently serialize the data for sequencial access, big amounts of fast virtual RAM are available for supporting huge simulations.
FasterCap improves the capabilities of the premium 'golden reference' FastCap2 software, while preserving the accuracy for which FastCap2 is renowed. For large simulations FasterCap is faster, requires less memory, and provides additional capabilities with respect to FastCap2.
FasterCap is available for MS Windows as well as for Linux 32 and 64bits operating systems, in binary and source formats, in our download section.

FastHenry2. Golden reference inductance extraction.

Windows porting of the well-known 3D inductance/resistance field solver FastHenry

FastHenry2 is a software for computing the frequency-dependant self and mutual inductances and resistances of a generic tridimensional conductive structure, in the magnetoquasistatic approximation. It can also generate Spice-compatible, multiple-frequency equivalent-circuit models.
A de-facto golden reference standard, FastHenry2 is derived from FastHenry, originally developed by Mattan Kamon at M.I.T. on Unix platform for the solution of Maxwell equations and extraction of inductances and resistances.
Binary and source code versions, including the original M.I.T. code, are available from our download section. The original FastHenry source code distribution is also available directly from M.I.T. at the link in our links page.

VoxHenry. Inductance extraction for voxelized structures.

Voxel-based, MQS impedance solver.

VoxHenry is a magnetoquasistatic (MQS) inductance extraction simulator for voxelized geometries. It is under some regards similar to FastHenry, as it can extract inductance and resistance values, but it is based on voxels, that are the 3D equivalent of the 2D pixels (simply put, voxels are 3D cubes). VoxHenry can handle a huge number of voxels, and has advantages over FastHenry when dealing with conductive structures that are not inherently long and thin (as FastHenry segments are).
VoxHenry has originally been developed by Prof. A.C. Yucel and Prof. J. White at M.I.T. in MatLab language, enhanced with contributions by A.G. Polimeridis, I.P. Georgakis, H. Bagci as well as improvements and optimizations by FastFieldSolvers, including porting under the free and open-source Octave environment. Porting to C/C++ for performance and speed is ongoing.
