• Unites touching metal into single conductor (including traces on multiple layers)
• Generates 3D solid models of selected traces, supply planes and vias

• Edit stack-up properties, such as individual layer thickness, dielectric constant and conductivity
• Select nets for translation by net name(s), or point and click on specific traces or region of the board " Automatic de-featuring of selected nets to minimize model complexity and solution time

IC Layout Specific

• Exports specific "cells" (and their sub-cells)
• Merge via arrays into a single object to simplify the solid model and speed analysis

Packaging Layout Specific

• Generates 3D solid models for wire bonds, solder bumps, solder balls and irregularly shaped ground fill
• Automatically adds ports (HFSS) or sinks and sources (Q3D Extractor) to wire bonds and solder balls
