Easy Design Entry
ANSYS DesignerSI product suites are comprised of flexible, easy-to-use schematic capture, layout editing and sophisticated data visualization tools that are powered by the Nexxim high-capacity circuit engine. The powerful design management features allow DesignerSI to manage various solver technologies and import ECAD data from popular layout tools such as Cadence®, Mentor Graphics®, Zuken™ and Altium® along with ODB++ manufacturing databases. These features allow users to combine S-parameters, W-elements, HSPICE®, Spectre® and IBIS models directly as schematic components allowing them to seamlessly integrate with behavioral, circuit and GHz-accurate interconnect models in a unified schematic desktop.
DesignerSI transient circuit simulator advantages in speed and capacity are enhanced with enforcement of passivity and causality to accurately model and simulate physical behavior in the time domain, such as that of complex interconnects in signal integrity applications.

Three via pairs created in DesignerSI using the layout and padstack editors were solved with HFSS using the Solver on Demand capability technology.
