With AnsoftLinks™ for Cadence Allegro®, an entire PCB design, or portions of it, can automatically be translated and converted into Ansoft models. This frees the design engineer from the tedious task of manually redrawing a layout.

Special Features:

• Ability to select nets to be analyzed by specifying the net name(s), selecting specific traces by pointing and clicking, or selecting a region of the board
• Allows the editing of any stack-up information, such as individual layer thickness, dielectric constant, and conductivity
• Automatically generates 3D solid model of selected traces, supply planes, and vias
• Automatically unites touching metal on different layers into the same conductor
• Automatically adds ports or sources to identified pins
• Allows automatic defeaturing of selected nets to minimize complexity and solution time
• Easy-to-use, menu-driven interface
