Previewing Pre-Processed Layout
Before submitting a model to the EM simulator, you can check its preview to verify the shapes and geometries included in it.
- Select a model in the Models table of the Electromagnetic Solver assistant.
- On the Pre-Process tab, click Preview Pre-Processed Layout.
For EMX models, the preview of the selected model is displayed in the EM Preview of Model <model-name> window.
It shows all the shapes, including the clustered vias and simplified shapes, that are saved in the .clf file. In addition, it shows the impact of cutting boundaries and scaling factors on the selected shapes.
If you have specified pre-processing settings, the preview also shows how the layout will be modified according to those rules and settings. You can make any necessary changes before submitting the model for simulation.
