HFSS is a commercial finite element method solver for electromagnetic structures from Ansys. The acronym stands for High Frequency Structure Simulator.

It was originally developed by Professor Zoltan Cendes and his students at Carnegie Mellon University. Cendes and his brother Nicholas Cendes founded Ansoft and sold HFSS stand-alone under a 1989 marketing relationship with, and bundled into Ansoft products. In 1997 acquired Optimization Systems Associates Inc. (OSA), a company founded in 1983.

HP's acquisition was driven by the HP's need for an optimization capability for HFSS. After various business relationships over the period 1996-2006, HP (which became ) and Ansoft went their separate ways: Agilent with the critically acclaimed and Ansoft with their HFSS products, respectively. Ansoft was later acquired by Ansys. References.
