Running EMI Scanner

Ansys EMI Scanner identifies design issues that might result in electromagnetic interference problems during operation. Such problems can stem from a compromised power delivery network or from improperly shielded signal nets. This feature, which is based on geometric rule checks, scans complete layouts quickly and can be used to identify subsections of the design requiring more rigorous analysis using the SIwave or HFSS finite element-based solvers.
