✨ Key Highlights & New Capabilities in 2026 R1

🔥 GPU Acceleration + Machine Learning Solver
Major performance improvements for large-scale thermal and mechanical analysis. GPU acceleration combined with ML-based enhancements significantly reduces runtime on high-capacity multi-die designs while maintaining signoff-level accuracy.

🌡️ Advanced Adaptive FEM Thermal & Structural Solver
High-resolution adaptive Finite Element Method (FEM) with full support for anisotropic materials, temperature-dependent power, TSVs, hybrid bonding, and backside power delivery. Accurately predicts hotspots, Joule heating effects, thermal cycling stress, and thermo-mechanical warpage in a single environment.

📦 Hierarchical Reduced-Order Modeling
Enhanced Chip Thermal Models (CTMs), Chip Power Models (CPMs), and related reduced-order models enable fast yet accurate system-level electrothermal co-simulation across multiple dies, interposers, packages, and boards — without sacrificing fidelity.

🔗 Multiphysics Fusion Technology
Seamless integration with Synopsys 3DIC Compiler, RedHawk-SC, Totem-SC, HFSS-IC, Ansys AEDT Icepak, and optiSLang. Experience true system technology co-optimization (STCO) in one unified flow.

✅ Foundry-Certified Signoff
Certified for leading advanced packaging technologies including:
• TSMC CoWoS / InFO / SoIC
• Samsung X-Cube
• Intel EMIB

Trusted by major foundries for power, thermal, and signal integrity signoff of advanced multi-die designs.

⚡ Early Prototyping to Full Layout-Based Signoff
Rapid feasibility studies using reduced-order models + detailed post-layout multiphysics verification. Supports both static and transient thermal analysis, SIPI co-simulation, electromigration-aware flows, and structural integrity checks.
