Flexcompute has introduced the PhotonForge Connector for Cadence Virtuoso Studio, integrating GPU-accelerated multiphysics simulation within the electronic-photonic design environment.
The connector enables a two-way workflow between photonic layout and simulation, allowing engineers to convert layouts into 3D models and run analyses such as FDTD, thermal, and electrical simulations. It aims to address inefficiencies in traditional workflows that require manual reconstruction of designs, improving consistency between design and validation. The solution also supports parametric studies, optimization, and foundry Process Design Kit integration, targeting silicon photonics development for AI data center infrastructure.
