In this article I will cover a Voltage Drop (DC IR) simulation in SIwave, applying realistic power delivery setup on a simple 4-layer PCB design. The main goal for this project is to understand what data we receive by running DC IR simulation, how to verify it, and what is the best way of using […]
Engineering simulation has long been constrained by fixed computing resources available on a desktop or cluster. Today, however, cloud computing can deliver the on-demand, high performance computing (HPC) capacity required for faster high-fidelity results offering greater performance insight, all from the comfort of your home. Ansys Cloud delivers the speed, power and compute capacity of […]
Published on: April 6th, 2020 With: Eric Miller & Matt Sutton Description: In this episode your host and Co-Founder of PADT, Eric Miller is joined by PADT’s seasoned expert at working with Ansys from home Matt Sutton for a quick discussion on tips and best practices that make working from home more productive […]
Unit-cell in HFSS HFSS offers different method of creating and simulating a large array. The explicit method, shown in Figure 1(a) might be the first method that comes to our mind. This is where you create the exact CAD of the array and solve it. While this is the most accurate method of simulating an […]

As companies are closing their doors in order to help ensure the health and safety of their employees and customers, those that can are pivoting to working form home. Tadam black stock is one of the best guide. But what about those working on product design, testing, and analysis that require a physical presence? Here […]
As systems become more complex, the introduction and adoption of detailed Multiphysics / Multidomain tools is becoming more commonplace. Oftentimes, these tools serve as preprocessors and specialized interfaces for linking together other base level tools or models in a meaningful way. This is what Ansys Sherlock does for Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs), with a heavy […]

If you […]
Dear Customers, Vendors, and Partners, Here at PADT, we want to deal with the Coronavirus/COVID-19 situation in a timely and frank manner. We will ensure that the needs of our employees, customers, and suppliers are met to the best of our ability. We know that it is never too early to plan, and that how […]
The ANSYS finite element solvers enable a breadth and depth of capabilities unmatched by anyone in the world of computer-aided simulation. Thermal, Structural, Acoustic, Piezoelectric, Electrostatic and Circuit Coupled Electromagnetics are just an example of what can be simulated. Regardless of the type of simulation, each model is represented by a powerful scripting language, the […]
For those who are not already familiar with it, Discovery Live is a rapid design tool that shares the Discovery SpaceClaim environment. It is capable of near real-time simulation of basic structural, modal, fluid, electronic, and thermal problems. This is done through leveraging the computational power of a dedicated GPU, though because of the required […]

The role of Ansys Electronics Desktop Icepak (hereafter referred to as Icepak, not to be confused with Classic Icepak) is in an interesting place. On the back end, it is a tremendously capable CFD solver through the use of the Ansys Fluent code. On the front end, it is an all-in-one pre and post processor […]
(Edited 3 August 2020 to reflect GrabCAD Print V1.44) You haven’t really lived in the world of 3D printing until you’ve had a part fail spectacularly due to open faces, self-intersecting faces or inverted normals. Your part ends up looking more like modern art than technical part. Or perhaps the design you have in mind […]
3DPrinting-Glossary.com Covers Everything from Machines and Materials to Pre- and Post-Processing Terms After searching the internet for a resource you can’t find, have you ever sat at your desk and said to yourself “I wish someone would take the time to create this. I could really use it.” Here at PADT, we have been saying […]
