The Altair Partner Alliance (APA) is pleased to announce the addition of Fieldscale’s SENSE to its software offering. Sense is an intuitive and highly advanced touchscreen design and simulation tool. The cutting-edge algorithms provide accurate results up to ten times faster than any other simulation software. As a result, engineers save effort and time and products are launched sooner and with increased profit margins.
“Altair is committed to continually providing cutting-edge and comprehensive solutions to assist electronics companies in creating innovative products to stay ahead of competition,” said Molly Heskitt, Senior Director of Business Development. “Expanding our partnership with Fieldscale, we are excited to introduce Sense software in our offering, which will further empower electronics product designers to create robust solutions and shorten development cycles.”
Sense was developed after months of research on touchscreen industry needs and the product design process. The greatest challenges of effectively using simulation in touchscreen design were all identified and tackled one by one. In Sense, it takes a matter of seconds to set up the design by choosing the analysis type, the controller, the pattern and the stack-up. The parametric analysis capability saves engineers valuable time, enabling the simultaneous testing of hundreds of finger positions in all three dimensions. Algorithms that run in the background are optimized to deliver results with maximum accuracy in a minimal amount of time. Results are presented in heat maps and interactive plots and can be easily filtered and exported. Sense is the new essential tool for touchscreen design.
“Sense is the first of a long line of new generation simulation tools. Simplifying the simulation by hiding all expertise behind a simple intelligent app environment will enable more engineers to use simulation in their design processes,” said Yiorgos Bontzios, CEO at Fieldscale. “We are thrilled that Altair is our ally and together we head to the new era of simulations.”
The touchscreen industry is emerging with all of the new applications and technology developed today. Flexible and curved touch displays, wearables and several applications in this era of the automotive industry are just a few industries that Sense will impact. Design engineers can test new materials, new pattern designs and new technologies, all within Sense’s plug-and-play environment.
An introductory webinar for Fieldscale will be held on March 2 at 10 a.m. ET. For more information about the software, please visit the product page for Sense.
