Running EMI Scanner in HFSS 3D Layout

Ansys EMI Scanner identifies design issues that might result in electromagnetic interference problems during operation. Such problems can stem from a compromised power delivery network or from improperly shielded signal nets. This feature, which is based on geometric rule checks, scans complete layouts quickly and can be used to identify subsections of the design requiring more rigorous analysis using the SIwave or HFSS finite element-based solvers.

To set up EMI scanner:

1. From the Simulation tab, click EMI, or

   From the Project Manager window, right-click Analysis and select Add EMI Scanner Setup.

   

2. From the Project Manager window, double-click EMI Setup. to open the Ansys EMI Scanner window, on the Rules tab.

   

   If chosen, click the Simulation Name field to rename the scan.

3. Set rules, as chosen.
4. Select the Tags tab.

   The Tags tab displays.

   

5. Assign tags, as chosen.
6. Click Launch.

   The Progress window updates to show EMI Scanner progress. Simulation Status messages are logged in the Message Manager.
