SIwave Solutions in HFSS 3D Layout
SIwave is a software solution for power-ground plane and signal integrity analysis. It employs a powerful full-wave analysis engine to generate both frequency-domain and time-domain results. Using the highly optimized internal field solver, SIwave simulates complete board/package designs with full-wave accuracy. Simulation results can be reported graphically using advanced 2D and 3D plotting methods. For more information about the standalone SIwave product, consult SIwave help.
HFSS 3D Layout contains the following SIwave solution types:
- SIwave SYZ Solver – a high-speed hybrid solver for medium and large-scale analysis of PCBs and packages, the SIwave SYZ Solver calculates frequency-dependent S-parameters for signal integrity and EMI investigations, and board-level power supply impedance modeling.
- SIwave DC IR Solver – solves for voltage drop across the power plane and provides important information pertaining to power delivery.
To complete these solutions, begin with the SIwave Workflow Wizard, then follow the specific steps for the solver.
