ANSYS Q3D Extractor software is the premier 3-D and 2-D parasitic extraction tool for engineers designing electronic packaging and power electronic equipment. Q3D Extractor uses method of moments (integral equations) and FEMs to compute capacitive, conductance, inductance and resistance matrices. It uses the fast multipole method (FMM) to accelerate the solution of the integral equations. Outputs from the solver include current and voltage distributions, CG and RL matrices. View larger image Q3D Extractor efficiently performs 3-D and 2-D electromagnetic field simulation required for the extraction of resistance, conductance, partial inductance and capacitance RLCG parameters from a design and automatically generates a netlist in many formats, including SML (ANSYS Simplorer format) and SPICE. Q3D Extractor is capable of generating S-parameters exported...

::::::English Description::::::   Ansoft Corporation announced Q3D Extractor® v8, the latest version of the company\’s 3D parasitic extraction software. Q3D Extractor efficiently performs both the 2D and 3D electromagnetic field simulation required to extract RLCG parameters from an interconnect structure and automatically generates an equivalent SPICE circuit model for use in Nexxim®, the company’s high-capacity circuit simulator, or other Berkeley SPICE-compatible tools. These models provide an EM-based design synthesis solution for on-chip passives and speed the design and optimization of high-performance structures in order to achieve first-pass timing closure. Q3D Extractor v8 includes a new capacitance solver that is capable of extracting the capacitance and conductance with lossy dielectrics. This new solver is optimized to exploit available computer memory and...
