New in the AWR Design Environment

• Additional Python resources for AWRDE: Added Getting Started Guides for using Python as a scripting language for the AWR Design Environment software. See Python.
• Version Control Improvements: Enables large group design projects by managing AWR Design Environment documents with version control software. The improvements include support for LPF and symbol files, ability to revert back to a specific revision through History dialog box, Design Sync integration support for file-based vaults and module-based vaults and more.
• Schematic and System Editor Enhancements: Upgraded the Swap Elements dialog box with filtering capabilities and check boxes that enable preservation of parameters and/or symbols.

New in AWR Microwave Office

• The Component Synthesis Wizard and the Mixer and Multiplier Synthesis Wizard no longer require additional licensing and are now available to all users.

• Pointer - Hybrid optimizer: New hybrid, or combination of optimizers for simplification of existing methods.
• Nimbix Cloud Support: Run Cadence AXIEM® 3D planar EM solver and Cadence Analyst™ 3D FEM EM solver in the cloud.

• EMX Planar 3D Solver Integration: Run EMX simulation of silicon RFIC designs from within the AWR Design Environment platform.

• Clarity 3D Solver Integration: Integration of the Cadence® Clarity™ 3D Solver enables direct simulation of 3D EM structures from within the AWR Design Environment platform.
• Celsius Thermal Solver Integration: Run thermal analysis directly on structures created in the AWR Design Environment platform.

Cadence Unified Library

• Silicon RF/mmWave IP Creation: Facilitate the design and analysis of RF/microwave, analog, and digital design elements together with Virtuoso platforms.
• Enhanced Interoperability with Allegro and Virtuoso Platforms: Create and analyze RF/microwave IP in AWR Microwave Office and share schematic and layout with Virtuoso and Allegro platforms.
• Enhanced SpectreRF Integration: Specify SpectreRF as the simulator for loadpull and VSS nonlinear model extraction
• EMX Planar 3D Solver Integration: Run EMX simulation of silicon RFIC designs from within the AWR Design Environment platform.

New in VSS

• Data File Improvements: Smoother flow of co-simulating between VSS software and other external tools.
• Amplifier Design: Application content for amplifier designers.
• Mixer Design: Application content for mixer designers.
• RF System Design: Application content for RF system designers.
• RF Measurements: RF measurement related application content.
