Murata Collaborates with Synopsys to Provide Simulation Models Through Ansys Electromagnetic and Thermal Analysis Tools

Key Terms

electromagnetic interference (EMI) technical

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is unwanted disturbance in electronic devices caused by stray electromagnetic signals from other equipment, power lines, or wireless transmissions that can disrupt performance. Investors care because EMI can lead to product malfunctions, safety issues, regulatory non‑compliance or expensive redesigns and recalls—similar to static that makes a radio or appliance fail and forces a company to spend more or face reputational and legal costs.

3D electromagnetic field analysis technical

Three-dimensional electromagnetic field analysis models how electric and magnetic fields behave in and around real objects by using computer simulations that map those fields in all directions, like a weather map shows wind patterns around buildings. Investors care because these simulations reduce costly physical prototypes, reveal performance or interference problems early, and help products meet safety and regulatory standards—factors that affect development cost, time to market and competitive advantage.

thermal analysis technical

Thermal analysis is a set of laboratory tests that measure how a material or product changes as its temperature goes up or down — for example, whether it melts, decomposes, absorbs heat, or releases it. Investors care because those changes affect product safety, shelf life, manufacturing costs and regulatory approval; think of it like watching how a recipe behaves in the oven to predict whether the final dish will be stable and sellable.

rf inductors technical

RF inductors are small electronic coils used to guide and shape alternating electrical signals at radio frequencies—think of them as tiny traffic roundabouts that slow, store, or redirect fast-moving signal “cars.” They matter to investors because they are essential components in wireless devices, antennas, and network gear; changes in their supply, cost, or performance can affect production, product quality, and revenue across communications, consumer electronics, and industrial markets.

multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) technical

Small electronic components made from many thin ceramic layers and metal plates that store and release tiny amounts of electrical charge to steady, filter, and time signals in almost every modern electronic device. Investors watch MLCCs because their supply, price and technological improvements affect costs, production and profitability across many industries — like tiny water tanks in a plumbing network: shortages or quality changes can slow down whole product lines and alter company earnings.

power inductors technical

Power inductors are small coil components used in electronic circuits to store and smooth electrical energy, acting like a tiny reservoir that evens out spikes and dips in current. Investors should care because these parts affect device efficiency, battery life, size and reliability; strong demand or supply shortages can influence the costs and production timelines of consumer electronics, electric vehicles and power equipment, which in turn can impact manufacturers’ revenues and margins.

KYOTO, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TOKYO: 6981) (ISIN: JP3914400001) announces a new collaboration with Synopsys, Inc., enabling users of Synopsys' simulation tools to navigate directly to Murata's website to access and download the latest high-performance simulation models from Murata. The collaboration covers Synopsys' 3D electromagnetic field analysis tool Ansys HFSS™ and thermal analysis tool Ansys Icepak®, and marks a significant step toward streamlining the simulation workflow for electronic circuit designers. Murata is also the first company to offer passive component simulation models via Ansys Icepak*.

[Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.] New collaboration with Synopsys

As demand for high-speed, high-capacity communications continues to grow, electronic circuit design has become increasingly complex. Engineers must now account for a range of physical phenomena, from electromagnetic interference (EMI) to component heat generation, within a single design. Addressing these challenges early in the design process is critical; overlooking them can trigger costly redesigns, extend development timelines, and drive up prototyping expenses. This has placed greater pressure on electronic component suppliers to provide ready-to-use, high-quality simulation models that are compatible with the tools engineers already rely on.

Developing accurate models for electromagnetic and thermal analysis is inherently challenging, as both electromagnetic behavior and temperature distribution shift considerably depending on design conditions. Murata's vertically integrated approach, spanning raw material development and manufacturing through to final product processing, enables the company to draw on an extensive proprietary dataset, resulting in simulation models that closely reflect real-world component performance.

The models are compatible with Ansys 2026 R1. Ansys HFSS supports electromagnetic field analysis and covers Murata's RF inductors and multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), while Ansys Icepak supports thermal analysis and covers Murata's power inductors.

Looking ahead, Murata will continue to deepen its collaboration with Synopsys, expanding its model lineup to support more advanced and efficient electronic design.
