I would like to thank the 97 engineers from the SI list who volunteered
for the beta-testing of W element. The results were very encouraging,
all of the responded were impressed with the W-element's speed and liked
the ability to accurately model frequency-dependent loss in the time
domain. Several people compared the W-element simulation results to
measurements, and reported an excellent agreement in both frequency and
time domains, which could have not been achieved with
frequency-independent models.
The 97.1 release of Star-Hspice is NOT shipped without a request to
Hspice customers on technical maintenance, but they can obtain it free
of charge by contacting Avant! sales, tel: (408)738-8881 or
