It can be used “out of the box” or as a template from which customized parts can be created. The library is provided as a zipped archive, with installation and usage instructions included.
Allegro PCB SI Cross-Section Library Extension
The Cadence Allegro PCB SI Cross-Section Library Extension is a free download that extends the library of cross sections available on the release media. With this library extension, users of the 2D full-wave field solver will have access to increased numbers of pre-solved cross sections that will speed the time to solutions while using Allegro Signal Integrity (SI) products. This algorithm-based integrated model library (ABIML) provides solutions to cross sections using multiple-surface roughness algorithms and highly increases the likelihood of a match of cross sections in PCB and package designs that can be used by the Allegro SI tools to shorten the time to a full-wave 2D interconnect model that can be used in SI simulation.
