Setting Up a Design in Q3D 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 Q3D 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. Identify nets.
5. Specify how Q3D Extractor will compute the solution.
6. Reduce the matrices to modify conductor definitions and generate simpler matrices.
7. Export the circuit to generate a circuit equivalent of the model.
8. Run the simulation.
9. View solution results, post-process results, view reports and assign field overlays.
