Simulation Setup

SIwave enables you to compute and view the results of analyses such as resonant modes and frequency response.

Earlier topics have covered how to draw or import the components for each layer, specify their material characteristics, and identify sources and vias. The system uses this information to generate an appropriate current solutions.

This section covers actions appropriate to perform successful simulations:

• Auto-Identify Power and Ground Nets
• Define IBIS Models for Pins
• Add Ports
• Add a Voltage Probe
• Define Equipotential Regions
• Detect Close Edges
• Sanitize Layout
• Perform a Validation Check
