RSoft Design Group is pleased to announce the release of a new advanced CAD system for the RSoft Component Design Suite. The new CAD version adds three-dimensional editing capability, a streamlined design process and an updated appearance to RSoft’s highly flexible and user-friendly CAD interface.

All of RSoft’s award-winning line of passive device simulation tools, including BeamPROP, FullWAVE, BandSOLVE, GratingMOD, DiffractMOD and FemSIM, will take advantage of this new CAD environment. The new capabilities extend photonics applications in the optoelectronics, communications and semiconductor industries.

One of the highlights of the new CAD release is the ability to edit structures in 3-D. The 3-D feature allows users to manipulate and view their designs along any direction as well as in all three dimensions, enabling designers to more readily create and view complex designs. The new CAD release boasts a streamlined design flow to expedite the design and simulation process. This new platform further extends the usability of the RSoft CAD and provides design engineers with a straightforward and user-friendly interface. It also includes a fresh graphical look.
