QUEST Competitive Summary
Buy QUEST if you need Easy-to-Use Inductor Design Solutions or Simulations QUEST is your solution for inductor design and optimization
because: DeckBuild provides user friendly input file development and runtime
environment. Batch mode is also available Pre-loaded examples allow new users to start useful inductor
simulations in minutes, by simply modifying pre-loaded example parameter and process values
Fast simulation times. QUEST algorithms combine the advantages of both surfacic and volume meshes together with Fictitious Domain numerical methods
Integration in VWF with full DOE functionality for layout, technology dimensions and material electrical properties allow easy design optimization or corner modeling
