Co-simulation for Ansoft designer.

[borich_03]

Who can explain or upload papers about Co-simulation process for Ansoft designer? I have a circuit with lumped and microstrip components and I'd like to simulate it in full. Programme's help is very bad.
Thanks!

Hi,

I suppose you are referring to cosimulation between the Circuit and PlanarEM in Ansoft Designer.

From the project manager right click the PlanarEM design and choose "Copy".
Double-click the circuit design (the schematic opens).
Right-click the schematic and choose "Paste"

If you are referring to co-simulation between the Circuit and HFSS in Ansoft Designer, from the menu insert an HFSS Design.

Unlike exporting S-Parameter files co-simulation allows you:
1) Automatic update of S-Parameter data when the EM geometry changes.
2) Use EM based parameters (such as width) in circuit level optimization and parameterc studies.

Could you how to simulate LNA in ADS in S Parameters? thanks
