=== EM.Picasso in a Nutshell ===
EM.Picasso<sup>®</sup> is a versatile planar structure simulator for modeling and design of printed antennas, planar microwave circuits, and layered periodic structures. EM.Picasso's simulation engine is based on a 2.5-D full-wave Method of Moments (MoM) formulation that provides the ultimate modeling accuracy and computational speed for open-boundary multilayer structures. It can handle planar structures with arbitrary numbers of metal layouts, slot traces, vertical interconnects and lumped elements interspersed among different substrate layers.
{{NoteSince its introduction in 2002, EM.Picasso has been successfully used by numerous users around the globe in industry, academia and government. It has also undergone several evolutionary cycles including a total reconstruction based on our integrated [[EM.Cube]] software foundation to expand its CAD and geometrical construction capabilities. EM.Picasso's integration with [[EM.Cube]] facilitates import and export of many popular CAD formats (including DXF export of layered traces) and provides a seamless interface with [[EM.Cube]]'s other simulation tools. [[Image:Info_icon.png|40px]] Click here to access '''[[EM.Cube#EM.Tempo_Tutorial_Lessons | EM.Tempo Tutorial Gateway]]'''. === EM.Picasso as the Planar Module of EM.Cube === EM.Picasso is the frequency-domain, full-wave '''[[Planar Module]]''' of '''[[EM.Cube]]''', a comprehensive, integrated, modular electromagnetic modeling environment. EM.Picasso shares the visual interface, 3D parametric CAD modeler, data visualization tools, and many more utilities and features collectively known as '''[[CubeCAD]]''' with all of [[EM.Cube]]'s other computational modules.}}
