Get Better Athermalization Than Competitors

built right in with K2 + CODE V.

Get your Athermalization done faster in just a few clicks, no complicated setup required.

"Best and Easiest" Athermalization Built-In

  • Barrel-mounted setups require more dummy surfaces than the spacer separated method to model seat contact expansion accurately.
  • Using Synopsys’ ENVPIK, these surfaces are auto-generated for your barrel-mounted seat contacts. (No more manual insertions)
  •  Get the power of Synopsys’ ENVPIK algorithm in K2’s simplified setup – No user files to create.

Analyze Thermal Effects in 3 Simple Steps

01

Enter your desired temperatures.

02

Choose your physical seat contact.

03

Enter your metal housing expansion coefficient and click button to run.

Optional

Add custom expansion data for any desired glass.

Get up and running quickly with built-in, dynamically updated
“Input Explainer” illustrations and step-by-step instructions.

Optimize Your Athermal Design in a Few Simple Clicks

  • K2’s interface to Synopsys’ algorithms for Glass Expert  and ENVPIK makes Athermalization faster and simpler than ever.
  • When performance drops across temperatures, the right glass choice makes all the difference.
  • Synopsys’ Glass Expert combines dispersion and expansion automatically to find the right choice for your design.
  • Open your optimization script, choose your glasses, and click the “Athermalize” checkbox.
  • Click “Run,” and all required script modifications are done for you.
