Using Reduce Matrix > Set Reference Ground

This type of reduction replaces the existing return path or reference ground in the design with the newly selected conductor.

To set the grounding:

1. Click 2D Extractor > Reduce Matrix > Set Reference Ground.

   The Reduce Operation window appears, with a list of the model's conductors in the left pane.

   

2. Select the conductors you want to ground. As soon as you click the conductor, it is removed from the conductors list and added to the Reduced Conductors List.
   Note:

   You can select an already reduced conductor. However, you cannot select all conductors.

3. If you have a long list of conductors, you can filter the list by entering search criteria and clicking Filter. Use multiple search criteria with a comma separator (for example, "Redsource*, BlueSource*").
4. Click one of the following:
   • Save and Create to save and leave the Reduce Operation window open to add an additional operation. You must select the next operation from the drop-down menu before clicking this button.
   • Save and Close to save the current operation and close the window.
   • Cancel to close the window without making changes.
