How does PCB SIMULATION & ANALYSIS work?
Input Parameters : Engineers input design parameters and constraints into specialized
simulation
software to define the characteristics and requirements of the PCB design.
Virtual Model Generation : The software creates a virtual model of the PCB, representing
its
components, connections, and layout based on the input parameters.
Mathematical Algorithms : Mathematical algorithms and circuit theory principles are
applied to
the virtual model to simulate aspects like signal integrity, power distribution, thermal
management, and EMC.
Simulation Execution : The software executes simulations using the virtual model and
input
parameters, analyzing the behavior of the PCB under various conditions.
Analysis and Optimization : Engineers analyze simulation results to identify issues and
provide optimization recommendations, such as adjusting component placement or modifying trace
routing, to improve PCB performance and reliability.
