Support / Release Notes

Nullspace Prep & EM 2025 R1 Release

  •  AI-based automation features automatically identify common mechanical features enabling RF engineers to perform CAD cleanup directly within Nullspace Prep, eliminating the need for back-and-forth iteration with mechanical engineering teams and external CAD tools.

  • Delivers up to 100X speedup in wideband frequency analysis for applications including antenna on-body performance analysis, phased array element patterns, and wideband feed network design. Users specify only the start and end frequencies; the FAFS algorithm determines optimal sample points using physics-informed interpolation that captures the true frequency-domain behavior of the structure.

  • Enables engineers to incorporate lumped impedance elements directly within full-wave electromagnetic simulations. Engineers can now perform rapid optimization of impedance matching networks and evaluate system-level performance without requiring separate circuit co-simulation tools.

Nullspace Prep & ES 2025 R1 Release

  • High order basis functions allow for faster, more accurate solutions with reduced memory. Solve larger geometries on the same computational resources with same or better accuracy than previous versions.

  • Post-processing is dramatically faster, allowing high-resolution potentials and field calculations on dense grids in a fraction of the time. Perform rapid design iterations, parameter sweeps, and large-scale field analyses that were previously impractical.

  • Dense and compressed solver performance increased while maintaining accuracy.

Nullspace ES 2024 R1 Release

  • Implemented a new, faster, and more efficient meshing algorithm to assure high accuracy results.

    Nullspace's meshing technology is tailored for the ion trap community and efficiency in both meshing time and meshing quality for improved speed and accuracy.

  • The newly added double ground plane symmetries can be used in combination with the geometric symmetry features including planar and rotational symmetries.

    Leveraging these new symmetry workflows can speed up simulations and reduce memory requirements by factors of up to 16X

  • Extended support now includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and Ubuntu

Nullspace Prep & EM 2023 R3 Release

  • Better visualization support for Paraview

  • Improved Windows support provides increased stability and performance.

Nullspace Prep & EM 2023.9 Release

  • Beta Release for running Prep and EM on Windows 10. Large-scale solver support (with compression algorithm). GPUs not yet supported.

  • Significant performance improvement of 2-4X for large-scale solutions of problems like phased arrays and cosite interference.

  • Combined options for simulation and report stages to streamline data storage for extremely large scale simulation.

  • Added post-processing functionality to streamline user workflow for phased array simulations.

Nullspace ES 2023.9 Release

  • For problems with rotational symmetry, users can run both odd and even symmetry for enhanced post-processing flexibility.

  • Support for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS

  • Added support for software-based licensing in addition to USB key-based licenses.

Nullspace EM 2023.4 Release

    • Streamlines assignment of material properties and creation and management of antenna excitations

    • Simplifies creation of large phased arrays with numerous feed ports
