Plotting DC IR Field Overlays

After computing a DC IR Solution, view field plot overlays.

Complete these steps to view DC IR field overlays.

  1. From the Project Manager window, expand the Project Tree and right-click Field Overlays. Then select Plot DC Fields.

    Plot DC Fields Submenu

  2. Select the overlay type you want to view. Menu options include the following:
    • VolumeJdc – overlays the DC current density vector (in Amps/meter2).
    • Mag_VolumeJdc – overlays the Magnitude of VolumeJdc.
    • Voltage – overlays voltage.
    • Power Density – overlays power density.
    • Via Current – overlays current direction on vias.

    Create Field Plot Window

  3. Specify details or use the Fields Calculator, as appropriate.
  4. Click Done and the selected field plot overlay appears in the Layout Editor.
