TrueVolume
The all-new TrueVolume metal model uses fully 3D subsections with volumetric currents to divide the volume of a thick metal model conductor into rectangular metal cubes, and then uses Sonnet's volume subsections to model those cubes, greatly reducing the need for large amounts of metal layers in many thick metal applications. This is a major introduction which blurs the lines between a 3D Planar and a 3D Arbitrary solver.
Sonnet Technology File Editor
The new Sonnet Technology File Editor, is a separate application bundled with the suite, and allows you to directly edit and create Sonnet Technology Files (.stf), which can be saved as templates, applied to projects, and more.
User Equation Editor
The User Equation Editor allows you to define custom equations to be added as curves in a graph.
3D Antenna Pattern
You may now generate a 3D Antenna Pattern of your project.
Graph and Pattern templates
Sonnet now provides you with Graph and Pattern templates which contain settings of a graph, including color, format, port properties, frequencies, angles, or other settings used in your graph. The software provides a few common templates, but you may create your own templates to save them in a template folder for later use.
