Many of you already received communications about the move of the Cadence user community into cadence.com. And many of you have already joined, with over 4000 registrations in the first two weeks.

The new Cadence Community enhances the ability of Cadence users to connect and collaborate. In addition to moving the community into cadence.com -- enabling single sign-on for community, Sourcelink and Cadence events -- the new site is organized around nine technology segments, giving you easy access to product information, training, forums and blogs. Some of the new features include:
  • Ability to respond to posts via e-mail
  • Technology-specific blogs
  • Latest Web 2.0 social networking capabilities
  • Public profile options
  • Private messaging
  • Friends lists
Visit the new Cadence Community today at www.cadence.com/community and join the discussions!

Registration note: Due to the scope of the enhancements and the new SSO registration system, we were not able to migrate existing cdnusers.org member accounts. So new registrations are required, but this enables a broader set of functionality we think you'll enjoy.

Forum note: Under the guidance of forum moderators, we have taken the 20+ cdnusers.org forums and consolidated them into 11 forums on the new site. Posts have been brought over so you can leverage that posting history. CDNusers forums will be set to read only starting 7/30, and cdnusers.org will be redirected to the new community on 8/4.

Best regards,
Mike and Tom

On page 258 of the PCI SI Simulation Reference manual there is a brief discussion of Closed form via models and 3D field solver generated via models. A brief set of instructions were provided describing how to use PCB SI to build a more accurate via model using the built in 3D field solver. I followed those steps, but was not able to generate a new model. Could someone confirm that PCB SI has this capability, and then give further explaination on how to generate the new via model?

Thanks,

Ken

Ken, Basically there are 3 different styles of vias in the tool. The simple closed form , detailed closed form and 3D.
If you choose the detailed closed form option it actually runs the FSVia routine to get a pretty close result to the more computationally intensive 3D solver.
Now there is a variable "Set_3D_Via_Solver 1" (set this in the pcbenv\env file) that will force the fsviasolver executable to be run for all the extracted vias. This is much slower, and we have found to be not much more accurate then the detailed closed form results. This solver isn't officially supported right now however.
Refer to Solution 11098106 on Sourcelink for some more info.
Also, you can type in FSvia with no arguments at a command prompt to get additional information.
