Overview of Q3D Dynamic Equivalent Circuit Component Coupling

To prepare and use a Q3D Dynamic Equivalent Circuit coupling component, do the following:

  1. Create a 2D or 3D model of the device in Q3D.
    Note:

    Avoid using illegal characters such as the “space” character in design names. Illegal characters are replaced with an underscore character. See Names of Components and Variables for additional information.

  2. Perform a solution setup with a single solution frequency.
  3. In Twin Builder, add the Q3D Dynamic Equivalent Circuit component to the sheet.
  4. Create the rest of the simulation design on the sheet.
  5. Start the simulations in Twin Builder.
    Note:

    To make changes in the Q3D SML model, you must edit the 3D model, recalculate the field solution, and re-export the model.
