Murata Manufacturing has partnered with Synopsys to make its latest simulation models more accessible to engineers using Ansys HFSS and Ansys Icepak. Through the collaboration, users of these tools can directly access and download Murata’s simulation models from the company’s website, reducing friction in the design process and helping engineers work with up-to-date component data.
The move comes at a time when electronic circuit design gets a lot more demanding, mostly because high speed and high capacity communications keep climbing. Engineers end up having to look at things like electromagnetic interference and heat generation, more or less together, and that makes simulation the critical piece of development. If those concerns are missed early, it can cause a redesign, project delays, and also higher prototyping costs too.
Murata’s models are put together using data collected across its whole manufacturing process, starting from material development, then final production and all the stops in between. This allows the models to more closely reflect real-world component behavior under different operating conditions.

The models are compatible with Ansys 2026 R1. Ansys HFSS supports Murata’s RF inductors and multilayer ceramic capacitors for electromagnetic analysis, while Ansys Icepak supports thermal analysis for power inductors. Murata is also the first company to provide passive component simulation models through Ansys Icepak. The company plans to expand the model lineup further as its collaboration with Synopsys continues.
