Setting Up a Design in 2D Extractor

To set up a design, consult the following procedure.

After you insert a design, you do not need to perform the steps sequentially, but you must complete all steps before a solution can be generated.

1. Insert a 2D Extractor design into a project.
2. Set the model 's units of measurement.
3. Draw the model geometry and assign material characteristics to objects.
4. Specify how 2D Extractor will compute the solution.
5. Reduce the matrices to modify conductor definitions and generate simpler matrices.
6. Export the circuit to generate a circuit equivalent of the model.
7. Run the simulation.
8. View solution results, post-process results, view reports and assign field overlays.
   Note:

   After being idle for 10 minutes, Q3D gives up its license. A renewal of activity automatically requests a license. Such idle notifications do not occur during solves.
