Co-simulation is a feature of Ansys Electronics Desktop that allows you to simulate a design using multiple simulators. Two co-simulation mechanisms are available: Dynamic Links to subcircuits and Solver On Demand.
- Dynamic Link co-simulation occurs whenever a schematic design contains a dynamic link subcircuit. A dynamic link subcircuit links to a project that was created using a simulator different from the top-level simulator. The dynamically linked project generates simulation results using its native simulator in parallel with the top-level simulator.
- Solver On Demand allows selection of among Circuit or Nexsys co-simulation using a component netlist, HFSS 3D Layout or Planar EM simulation using a layout or footprint, and simulation by a one of a variety of solvers accessed by connecting to a previously defined model.
