High frequency electromagnetic analysis software Sonnet Suites cracked version V18.52
Sonnet Software Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Sonnet Suites 18.52. The new v18 builds on the v17 revolution, adding groundbreaking new technology, enhanced functionality, and robustness to the gold standard product from the world’s oldest EM simulation brand.
Sonnet’s suites of high-frequency electromagnetic (EM) software are designed to address today’s demanding design challenges, primarily involving planar (3D planar) circuits and antennas. Major planar circuits include microstrip, stripline, coplanar waveguide, PCB (single and multilayer) and combinations with vias, vertical metal plates (z-strips), and arbitrary number of metal traces embedded in layered dielectric materials. Sonnet Suites develop accurate RF models (S, Y, Z parameters or extracted SPICE models) for planar circuits and antennas. The software requires a physical description of the circuit (arbitrary layout and material properties of metals and dielectrics) and employs rigorous method-of-moments EM analysis based on Maxwell’s equations, including all parasitic, cross-coupling, enclosure and package resonance effects. Sonnet is focused on sharing the industry’s most accurate and reliable high-frequency planar EM software. Our goal is to make it easy for our customers to develop and analyze designs in our software or integrate our tools into their existing design flows and frameworks. Customers should never need to use a proprietary framework to get the best planar EM analysis.
What’s new in Sonnet Suites 18.52
- – The new TrueVolume metal model uses full 3D segmentation with volumetric currents to divide the volume of a thick metal model conductor into rectangular metal cubes, and then models these cubes using Sonnet’s volume segmentation, greatly reducing the need for large metal layers in many thick metal applications. This is a major introduction that blurs the line between 3D planar and 3D arbitrary solvers.
- – The new Sonnet Technology File Editor is a standalone application bundled with the suite that allows you to directly edit and create Sonnet Technology files (.stf) that can be saved as templates, applied to projects, etc. In the Technology File Editor, the Layer Mapping dialog box enables you to map CAD layers and drawing usages to Sonnet’s technology layers. Layer mappings can now be saved to the Sonnet Technology File (.stf) file, which now supports CAD drawing layers and usages.
- – The User Equation Editor allows you to define custom equations to be added as curves in the graph.
- – You can now view 3D antenna patterns for your project.
- – Sonnet now shares graph and pattern templates for you, which contain graph settings, including colors, formats, port properties, frequencies, angles, or other settings used in the graph. The software shares some common templates, but you can create your own templates and save them in the template folder for later use.
- – Sonnet’s ODB++ translator now supports ODB++7.x and 8.x. databases.
- – Sonnet’s redesigned home page provides quick and easy access to your recent projects and sessions.
- – You can now plot more responses in the Current Density tab, including volume current (in amperes per square meter) and current phase.
- – You can now add line segment markers to a graph or antenna pattern.
- – When the list of sources becomes too long, you can now delete unused sources that are no longer used with one simple command.
- – Sonnet Technology File (.stf) format now supports usage.

Completely Remastered Interface
v17 introduces an easy to use, modern and extremely intuitive interface, with windows that provide almost infinite flexibility. Usage is both familiar and easy, with buttons, menus, and settings beautifully organized. You can also configure your design environment to suit your workfow, placing controls anywhere in the Sonnet window or in separate windows.
Tabbed Interface
Keep your projects organized and convenient. The Sonnet window now contains all running modules displayed in separate tabs, allowing you to quickly move through different parts of your design process and stay organized. Tabs may be rearranged or moved into their own windows as needed and then added back to the main window at the user’s discretion.
Sonnet EM Co-Simulation (SEC)
Extend your simulation capability; v17 introduces Sonnet’s EM Co-Simulation (SEC) for Keysight® ADS which allows you to perform EM Cosimulation from within the ADS environment. An SEC component placed within the ADS schematic can invoke Sonnet EM simulations, allowing you to tune and optimize with maximum ease and flexibility.
Session Manager
See your workspace at a glance and move through it effortlessly. The Sonnet session window allows you to access all the modules in Sonnet, manage your project files, access help and Sonnet example files, and access various administrative tasks. The main session tab contains a session manager which displays everything presently open in your session which can be used to easily manage elements of your session and move between modules. The session manager is displayed by default within every module in Sonnet.
Port Enhancements
Sonnet now has more flexibility than ever to get currents in and out of your circuits. Numerous improvements in creating and modeling ports have been made in v17. The port type is automatically assigned based on the placement of the port in the circuit with immediate feedback on correct port placement. A new type of port, the delta gap port is introduced in this release. Several capabilities have been added to ports including assigning a local ground polygon, assigning mutliple numbers to a single port and controlling the polarity of ports.
Sonnet Technology File (STF)
Get right into your designs! v17 introduces the Sonnet technology file for Sonnet interfaces and translators which conveniently stores all the information needed for the stackup.
Metal Bias
With advanced production processes, we need to be able to simulate what we’re producing as opposed to what we’re drawing. The new Sonnet Technology file incorporates metal definitions which account for fabrication effects including width, spacing, and loss-dependent metal bias for both planar and via metals. At left, the layout (red) is overlain on a potential bias (green). Image is a dramatization for illustrative purposes only.
Job Queues
It is now easier than ever to keep multiple runs organized on multiple machines! The new Job Queue tab has replaced the analysis monitor to control and monitior your analyses. This can be used to set up jobs for later analysis, or to run analysis jobs immediately. If you wish to start an analysis manually or at a specified time, you can define a new queue, then specify a manual or timed start before adding jobs to that queue. You may define multiple job queues in your session.
Sweeps
It is now easier than ever to perform complex simulations and keep them organized, as v17 features a new implementation for setting up your analysis sweeps that is more powerful and efficient.
Performance
Run your simulations faster! In addition to numerous behind the scenes optimizations, Desktop Solver (DTS) thread count has been increased to eight, and High Performance Solver (HPS) thread count has been increased to 64.
Measurements and Equations in Response Viewer
It is more convenient and accessible to view different data sets in Sonnet when viewing different types of data. There are a number of new measurements and pre-defined equations available in the response viewer, combined with a new interface for managing your data curves.
Remote Server Setup
Setting up remote servers has been streamlined and simplified with an intuitive interface, so that admins and users can keep all of their hardware utilized efficienctly.
TrueVolume Subsections
To more accurately simulate complex 3D crosssections and structures, Sonnet has developed new TrueVolume Subsections (Patent Pending). This revised model allows for true volumetric and 3-dimensional currents to be simulated in your designs. Due to the advance nature of the technology, Sonnet is testing the new feature and intends to release it in a v17 point release.
