Import the board as built, attach the connectors and cables it really uses, solve on your GPU, and read the results you need to sign it off. Four workspaces, one model.
Interface mock-up of the MIPI DSI example. Values in the Analyse workspace come from a real run; the other panels are illustrative.
Gerber, Excellon, ODB++ and IPC-2581 import; fab stackups including JLCPCB presets; solder mask; parts placed from the netlist.
Twelve coax families from SMA to U.FL with edge, through-hole and top launches; 22 standard cables; FFC ribbons; twisted pairs.
A 2D quasi-static solver for cross-sections in seconds, and a 3D FDTD solver on the GPU with absorbing boundaries and lumped or modal ports.
TDR, S-parameters and Touchstone export, crosstalk, eye diagrams with compliance masks, far-field patterns, run history and overlays.
Vendor STEP bodies mapped to pads, and SPICE models for resistors, capacitors, inductors and ferrite beads.
Export any model to openEMS and check the answer in an independent, open-source solver.
