- Hardware engineers choosing PCB antenna simulation software
- Worth noticing
- The table includes board-file import paths, GPU support, platform coverage, and free-tier limits alongside solver methods.
Field notes
The table places commercial suites beside open-source and free options, rather than treating price as a footnote. Its entries also distinguish practical constraints: for example, the listed Sonnet Lite option has a 64 MB memory limit, six ports, and two metal levels, while openEMS is described as a GPL open-source solver with third-party paths for board geometry.
